World, meet Cory and Topanga's daughter Riley!
Rowan Blanchard, 11, has been cast in the title role of the upcoming "Boy Meets World" spin-off, "Girl Meets World," confirms Entertainment Weekly.
The young actress, who has been featured in "Spy Kids: All the Time in World" and "The Back-Up Plan," was just chosen for the coveted part following a nationwide search, says Michael Jacobs, producer of the show's pilot.
"As soon as Rowan walked into the room, I was reminded of why Ben Savage was loved as Cory Matthews," Jacobs told the mag, praising the soon-to-be star. "Rowan is real and accessible and I am hopeful this girl is about to meet a world that will love growing up with her as well."
