There’s so much talk behind the BOY MEETS WORLD sequel happening that we’re almost forgetting that the series hasn’t even begun filming, yet! Nevertheless, the updates just keep coming and we love hearing them all the same!
The latest news on the GIRL MEETS WORLD front is the direction of the show, straight from creator Michael Jacob’s mouth.
When the role of the Girl of GIRL MEETS WORLD was filled by young actress and singer, Rowan Blanchard, many people suspected that young Riley Matthews was going to be an aspiring actress and singer as well. Jacobs shut down this rumour by saying, “That was never BOY MEETS WORLD and it’s the farthest thing that this show will be.”
Jacobs also mentions Riley’s friends and brother, saying that they will be reminiscent of the original favourites from BOY MEETS WORLD like Eric Matthews, Shawn Hunter and class nerd, Minkus. The door is also left open for any of these actors to reprise their roles in the spin-off!
He also mentions that Cory Matthews, having been inspired by Mr. Feeney, will be a teacher and will struggle to be as good as or better than Mr. Feeney had been. Topanga’s profession is a mystery, though. Jacob’s is hoping the series will perfectly embody “the confusions about growing up and what we are supposed to be and what we are supposed to aspire to be” just like BOY MEETS WORLD did for the previous generation.
BOY MEETS WORLD was a huge hit and is still beloved today. Do yo think GIRL MEETS WORLD has a chance of reaching that same level of loyalty? Will you be tuning in? Join the discussion on Twitter and Facebook!
