Later in the evening, Disney confirmed the news in a statement which read: "Disney Channel will present the series finale of 'Girl Meets World' on Friday, January 20. In the episode, 'Girl Meets Goodbye,' the Matthews family contemplates a life-changing decision. We are proud that for over 70 episodes, Michael Jacobs, April Kelly and the talented creative team, cast and crew entertained viewers with an authentic and heartfelt look at navigating adolescence."
According to Variety, the show's first three seasons will continue to be broadcast on Disney Channel's digital platforms, the Disney Channel app and Disney Channel VOD.
GIRL MEETS WORLD stars Rowan Blanchard as Riley Matthews, Sabrina Carpenter as Maya Hart, Peyton Meyers as Lucas Friar, Corey Fogelmanis as Farkle Minuks, August Maturo as Auggie Matthews, and Danielle Fishel and Ben Savage reprising the "Cory and Topanga" roles they made famous in ABC's "Boy Meets World" (1993-2000).
The series was created by Michael Jacobs ("Boy Meets World," "Dinosaurs," "My Two Dads," "Charles in Charge") and April Kelly ("Boy Meets World"). The writing team is comprised of Mark Blutman, Jeff Menell and Matthew Nelson (from "Boy Meets World") and Cindy Fang, Lauren Otero and Randi Barnes.
