At least we still have Fuller House…
Over the past week, Girl Meets World fans have been pulled along on an emotional rollercoaster over whether or not the sitcom would be renewed for another season.
A few days after Rider Strong sparked rumors of the show’s cancelation, the Disney Channel series’ writers officially revealed the Boy Meets World spin-off would be meeting its end later this month!

In a series of posts on Twitter, the writers made the sad announcement on Wednesday, writing:
It is with incredible pride in our work and complete sadness that things end, that I report to this wonderful audience that our show is over

I just officially got the call, and would like to thank this audience for its incredible love and loyalty. Please watch our January episodes

We leave you with three incredible souvenirs of a show we couldn’t be more proud of. As I look back I can tell you with absolute certainty –

We gave you our best.

That’s it!? We don’t even get a talk from Mr. Feeny to get us through this trauma?
Unsurprisingly, fans are upset over the cancelation of the sitcom — which was extremely compelling and poignant by Disney standards — but no one is more stunned by the show’s end than the cast.

Series lead Rowan Blanchard took to Instagram to express how she was feeling about the future, saying:
“I have tried to go in and write this many times in preparation for this moment that I feared might come. I will never be able to put into words my gratitude for Michael Jacobs, the creator of our world, for bring us together├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥by all, I mean us and you.”
The 15-year-old actress then directly addressed the audience, thanking them for their undying support and love, adding:
“You have given us so much, you give so much, and for that we genuinely will never be able to repay you. Thank you for the parents who brought your kids to our shows, thank you to the kids for watching us. There is so much power in an audience that goes unsaid. Everything we did was in effort to give you the lessons we thought you deserved, that we knew you needed.”
Will Friedle, who played Eric Matthews in both GMW and BMW, echoed the sentiments of his TV niece, sharing a short-but-sweet message on Twitter, tweeting:
Beautiful words. Forever my niche… https://t.co/czPnU5x12w

Awwww.
Not to be outdone, Sabrina Carpenter, who plays Rowan’s on-screen BFF, also shared her thoughts on IG — quoting the late filmmaker Federico Fellini:
“There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.”
Wow, these teens are deep! While we’re sad to see such a heartwarming show leave the small screen, we’re sure its stars have a bright future ahead of them.
Girl Meets World returns for its final three episodes on Friday, January 6 — with a one-hour special at 6 p.m. EST on Disney Channel.
