I miss these characters so much

5 months ago

Girl Meets World was an iconic coming-of-age series on Disney Channel, first airing in 2014 and running for three seasons. The series followed main characters Riley and Maya through middle school dealing with family and relationships. It was a spin-off of Boy Meets World which ran in the 90s, with the main characters going on to be the parents of Riley in Girl Meets World.

It has been seven years since Girl Meets World ended, leaving us all emotional as Maya, Riley, Farkle, and Lucas sat in Cory’s classroom telling him everything they have learnt about friendship and wondering where the cast is now. The show acted as a huge stepping stone in their careers for many of the younger cast involved, most notably, Sabrina Carpenter with her music career rocketing her to fame. Here’s a look at what Sabrina Carpenter and the rest of the Girl Meets World cast is up to now:
