It was reported that Girl Meets World was canceled by Disney back on January 4, 2017, just over two weeks before the season 3 finale aired on the Disney Channel. The Girl Meets World writers’ Twitter account posted that they’d officially gotten the call, and star Rowan Blanchard posted a heartfelt note on Instagram, which you can read here. Then on January 14, showrunner Michael Jacobs told TheWrap that they were talking to other platforms for the show. He said, “We are certainly having discussions, there are some interested platforms. I don’t think ‘Girl should have been canceled. We signed to do four seasons. I thought we would be able to tell stories through four seasons. That’s the way we set it up. It was going to be a remarkable final year. But I understand, things end.”
Unfortunately, Jacobs tweeted from the writers’ account today, saying that he wasn’t able to find a new home for Girl Meets World Season 4. Check out the tweet below.
I wasn’t able to find a new venue for the show. I’m sorry. We brought our best and hope we made you think and feel. Until next time. Thanks.

Fans were hoping that the Disney Channel show would end up on a streaming service like Hulu or Netflix, like a number of canceled shows before Girl Meets World. Sadly, it didn’t end up happening. The show was a spinoff of Boy Meets World, about the life of a young Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) which ran from 1993-2000. Girl Meets World told the story of his daughter Riley with longtime love Topanga (Danielle Fishel).
Girl Meets World was created by Jacobs and April Kelly and is executive-produced by Jacobs. It stars Blanchard, Sabrina Carpenter, Savage, Fishel, August Maturo, Peyton Meyer and Corey Fogelmanis.
