Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel will reprise their 'Boy Meets World" roles for the highly anticipated series, which finds the childhood sweethearts grown up and raising their 12-year-old daughter, Riley.

The new series, which is scheduled to premiere next year, will follow Riley and her best friend, Maya, played by "Sofia the First" actress Sabrina Carpenter, as they navigate middle school in New York City. They'll do so under the watchful eyes of Riley's parents: Cory is the girls' new history teacher and Topanga owns an after-school hangout known for its pudding.

"'Girl Meets World' is a new show for a new generation that will be rooted in the same kind of honest, comedic storytelling about coming of age and the importance of family and friendship that made 'Boy Meets World' so popular," executive producer Michael Jacobs, who also created its popular 1990s predecessor, said in a statement.

"In the same way audiences fell in love with Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence, we look forward to introducing our viewers to their daughter, Riley Matthews … and building a memorable connection with a whole new generation of fans."
