Girl Meets World is definitely taking off and the show finally has it's Lawrence-Matthews offspring cast. The Girl meeting world is: Rowan Blanchard.

According to Entertainment Weekly:
Disney has cast 11-year-old singer-actress Rowan Blanchard in the title role of its upcoming Boy Meets World spinoff, EW reports. Blanchard -- who previously appeared in Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D and The Back-Up Plan -- will play Riley Matthews, the daughter of Cory  and Topanga.
"As soon as Rowan walked into the room, I was reminded of why Ben Savage was loved as Cory Matthews," Girl Meets World producer Michael Jacobs told EW. "Rowan is real and accessible, and I am hopeful this girl is about to meet a world that will love growing up with her as well. The news of Blanchard's casting comes two months after the Disney Channel's announcement that Savage, 32, and Fishel, 31, would be reprising their roles as beloved '90s TV couple Cory and Topanga. The pilot for the reboot -- which begins filming in February -- finds the junior high sweethearts happily married and parenting a 13-year-old girl."

For the past couple of weeks there have been rumors swirling about Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel reprising their roles as 90s super-couple Corey and Topanga.
Well, according to Savage's twitter account and Fishel's tumblr, it's happening!

The story plot? Corey and Topanga Matthews are married and have kids. The show is from their daughter's perspective- hence, Girl Meets World.

According to the Huffington Post:
Disney Channel confirms the pilot is still in "very early stages of development" and that a nationwide casting search is still underway for 13-year-old Riley Matthews. "Girl Meets World" will follow Cory (Savage) and Topanga's (Fishel) teen daughter Riley. "Boy Meets World" creator Michael Jacobs is behind the project.
The cast for "Girl Meets World" will also include Maya, Riley's edgy best friend. Sounds a bit like Shawn Hunter to us!
In the new series Cory will be a history teacher, just like his "Boy Meets World" mentor Mr. Feeny.
"I'm very excited for Disney and [creator] Michael Jacobs," William Russ, who played Cory's dad Alan Matthews on the series, said in a statement to HuffPost TV. "They are a great team and will produce an exceptional show, I have no doubt."
Anthony Tyler Quinn, who played Mr. Turner on "Boy Meets World," told HuffPost TV he'd be interested in appearing on the new series.
"'Boy Meets World' was and continues to be these beautiful brushstrokes in my life," he said. "It was a wonderful experience, and I think Michael's going to create something fresh. I'd love to be a part of it."

I hope they bring back as much as the original cast as possible!
