The highly anticipated Girl Meets World has cast the Topanga to Riley's Cory.
Huffington Post reports that Riley Matthews, played by Rowan Blanchard, will have her first love in Tristan Friar. Peyton Meyer will play Tristan-- he will be like Topanga in the show's reboot. Riley Matthews is the main character of the show and daughter of Cory and Topanga Matthews, whose roles are reprised by Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel.
The family and friends' dynamic will be similar to its predecessor. Like Shawn Hunter, Maya Hart--played by Sabrina Carpenter-- will be Riley's best friend. Riley's brothers will be Elliot (think Eric Matthews) played by Teo Halm and her little brother Louis Matthews (this series' Morgan) will played by five year-old August Maturo.
The Hollywood Reporter states that Girl Meets World will be about Riley and Maya as they make their way through middle school. Riley's parents Cory, who works as a history teacher at the school, and Topanga, who owns an afterschool hangout, keep a watchful eye on their daughter as she comes of age.
According to EOnline not only the premise, but the tone of the show will be similar to its original. Creator Michael Jacobs said, "'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."
Girl Meets World will premiere in 2014 on Disney Channel.
