Boy Meets World is the beloved coming-of-age sitcom that followed Cory Matthews from middle school through adulthood, and its sequel Girl Meets World continues the story with the next generation. Here's the order to grow up alongside these characters.
A staple of 1990s family television, Boy Meets World charts the life lessons of Cory Matthews, his best friend Shawn, his sweetheart Topanga, and their wise teacher Mr. Feeny. Decades later, the sequel series Girl Meets World shifts focus to Cory and Topanga's daughter Riley, carrying the franchise's warm humor and heartfelt morals to a new generation of viewers.
π Release Order
Release order is the clear way to watch, following the original coming-of-age story before its legacy sequel.
- Boy Meets World (1993)
- Girl Meets World (2014)
Story chronology matches release order, as Girl Meets World is set years later with an adult Cory and Topanga now raising their own children.
π Story Chronology
The timeline runs straight through, with the sequel picking up the next generation long after the original series ends.
- Boy Meets World (1993) β Cory's journey from boyhood to adulthood
- Girl Meets World (2014) β Cory and Topanga's daughter takes center stage
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch Boy Meets World first, then Girl Meets World. The original series builds the relationships and running jokes that the sequel constantly references, and seeing Cory and Topanga grow up makes their roles as parents in Girl Meets World far more meaningful. While Girl Meets World can be enjoyed on its own, longtime fans will get the most out of the many callbacks and returning characters by starting from the beginning.
