RIDER STRONG WILL NOT BE A REGULAR ON “GIRL MEETS WORLD”

Rider Strong, who played Cory’s best friend Shawn, will not be a series regular on the upcoming sequel “Girl Meets World.” Check out a statement from him below.
Boy Meets World was a defining aspect of my life, and I cherish those seven years. It was never just a job — on a personal level, many of my best memories and friendships were formed because of it.
So I am extremely happy for Ben and Danielle to be able to continue the story. At this point, I have no official involvement in Girl Meets World. There might be a chance to see some of the BMW cast in a guest spot, and I think it would be nice to find out where our characters have been all these years. But Girl Meets World will be, and I think it should be, it’s own show. It will be about Cory and Topanga, their daughter, and a new set of characters.
It’s the next generation.
And I, for one, can’t wait to see it evolve.
Also, no word yet on whether or not Will Friedle (Eric Matthews) or William Daniels (Mr. Feeny) will return.
