After much rumor and speculation, Girl Meets World has officially been cancelled after three seasons.
News of the cancellation was made on the shows official Twitter page on Wednesday night with the following statement: “I just officially got the call, and would like to thank this audience for its incredible love and loyalty. Please watch our January episodes.”
Following the tweet, Disney confirmed the cancellation, releasing this statement: “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.”
Over the holidays, there was much speculation over the fate of the show, as the writers room tweeted cryptic messages, writing that the show’s future was uncertain, and cast members re-tweeted those messages, adding weight to the potential cancellation. When the Season 3 finale wrapped shooting, much of the cast and crew posted farewell messages, as well.
Girl Meets World debuted in June 2014, garnering much chatter from nostalgic generations of fans who watched Boy Meets World. The show follows the lives of the now adult couple Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel), as they raise their kids Riley (Rowan Blanchard) and Auggie (August Maturo) in New York City.
Though the show will not return for Season 4, Girl Meets World will continue to air around the world. The first three seasons will also continue to be presented on Disney Channel’s digital platforms, the Disney Channel app and Disney Channel VOD.
