The official plot synopsis for tonight’s premiere episode, titled “Girl Meets World,” reads:
A ‘Boy Meets World’ spin-off about Riley Matthews, the daughter of Cory and Topanga. In the opener, Riley tries to be like her rebellious best friend Maya, much to her father's dismay.
Returning star Ben Savage recently spoke with TV Guide about reprising his role for the sequel series:
"The idea for Girl Meets World had been floating and bubbling for a couple months before I actually got a call about it [and] once I got an official call ... I didn't say yes right away. I think there was a little bit of hesitation because we just wanted to make sure that if we were gonna come back and we were gonna do something with the show, that we wanted to do something that we're all proud of and we're all supportive of and that we could all get excited about."
Savage went on to add that there have been various different ideas to reprise the series over the years:
"I think none of them materialized because none of us felt we could tell a new story.I think that's the most important thing to us: to tell a new story. So, that's what we've really been focusing on--making sure this show can cater to a new generation."
He went on to praise his onscreen daughter Rowan Blanchard, adding:
“I think we found someone America will fall in love with.”
Check out the new series tonight on The Disney Channel.
