Riley and Maya took on the world… and the world won.

"Girl Meets World" creator Michael Jacobs used the show’s writers’ Twitter account on Wednesday to confirm that, despite his best efforts, a new home has not been found for the canceled Disney Channel sitcom.

"I wasn't able to find a new venue for the show. I'm sorry. We brought our best and hope we made you think and feel. Until next time. Thanks."

You're going to have to get a major hold on this rumor that I just stumbled across, which has a much darker and shocking reason behind why GMW really got canceled :

Everything was going swimmingly with this series. Lots of fans. Considering the platform where it was airing it got ok ratings. People were kind of shocked when the show got canceled, especially considering the owners of the show and where it was airing. The reason? The executive producer of the show found out the barely legal actress on the show who turned him down because she was underage when they met had been hooking up with her love interest on the show from day one when she was underage. They did a very good job of keeping it hidden. When the executive producer found out about it, he demanded, yes demanded the actress have sex with him. When she told him to f**k off, he killed the show. Boom, just like that. Done. He also has basically blackballed the lead actor although when he tried to do the same to the actress she threatened him with a lawsuit and sexual harassment and a million other things. Not only did he back off about the blackballing he wrote her a big check to keep quiet about what happened when she was underage.
The show: "Girl Meets World"
The platform: "The Disney Channel"
The barely-legal, then-underage girl: Sabrina Carpenter (Maya Hart)
The male actor boyfriend: Corey Fogelmanis (Farkle Minkus)
The executive producer: possibly Michael Jacobs

I wonder if Rowan Blanchard is partially to blame for why GMW was canceled? Rowan is very feminist and was allegedly angry with Disney Channel for censoring her show (simply put, she wanted LGBT and social justice themes on the show) and refusing to move it to ABC/Freeform or Netflix.

This is a serious allegation here. How did I miss this?

Why Girl Meets World Was Canceled After Season 3

Despite gaining a loyal viewer base, Disney Channel canceled the Girl Meets World spinoff after season 3—and here's the primary reason why.

It's available on Disney+ if that counts or means something.

Boy Meets World ended on May 5th, 2000. Mr. Feeney said his goodbyes. Fourteen years later, Disney Channel brought it back — this time following Corey and Topanga's daughter Riley Matthews and her best friend Maya Hart.

Joe from VKMTVStudios spent nearly five hours on the full story of Girl Meets World: the pre-production decisions, the casting process (including 78 rounds of auditions and the Rowan Blanchard / Sabrina Carpenter role swap), the reunion moments with Ben Savage, Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong, Will Friedle, William Daniels, Anthony Tyler Quinn, and Trina McGee, the Riley/Maya/Lucas love triangle, Maya's father storyline, Sabrina Carpenter's parallel music career beginning during the show, the Disney Channel creative limitations debate, the ratings decline, Michael Jacobs' failed attempt to move the show to Freeform, Netflix, or Hulu, and the series finale that none of them were ready to film.

The show ran three seasons. It was cancelled on December 29, 2016. The fans built a campaign. Michael Jacobs could not find a new home for it. The story is more complicated than the Disney Channel budget decisions.
