"Girl Meets World" Season 4 wrapped up this month, but before the finale episode aired, Disney Channel first confirmed the show's cancellation.
After the network's decision has been made public, showrunner Michael Jacobs said that there are other television networks and streaming sites that may be interested in picking up "Girl Meets World" for Season 5.
While speaking with TV Line, Jacobs said that some networks have become interested in "Girl Meets World" after it was cancelled by Disney Channel because they saw how dedicated the audiences are in trying to urge the creators for a renewal.
Jacobs added that networks want to make sure that their shows will have huge following, and this is exactly what they can get if they pick up "Girl Meets World" for at least one season.
Unfortunately, Netflix has already announced their decision to not pick up the show. Immediately after Netflix's confirmation, Jacobs spoke with The Wrap to express his disappointment over Disney Channel's decision to axe the Rowan Blanchard starrer.
According to him, there are still more stories to tell about each of the characters and their connection with each other. This means that "Girl Meets World" could have still gone on until Season 5 with ease. Jacobs added that there should not be any worries about "Girl Meets World" not having unique storylines because this is something the writers can do perfectly.
Meanwhile, Hulu is another streaming channel that is being rumored to pick up "Girl Meets World." However, they still have not made their final decision on the program.
In other news, the writers on TV Line recently debated on whether or not "Girl Meets World" should still be renewed for Season 5. Some of them believe that there is still hope for renewal, while others think that it is best to leave the show the way it ended in Season 4.
If "Girl Meets World" will be renewed, it is possible that Freeform may be its perfect network. After all, Riley Matthews (Blanchard), Maya (Sabrina Carpenter), Lucas (Peyton Meyer) and the rest of the young cast members are already growing up and turning into teenagers.
