And now, a casting call has been sent out for the remaining supporting roles to fill out the cast, which already includes Ben Savage and Danielle Fishell, reprising their roles as Cory and Topanga Matthews from the hit 90s comedy Boy Meets World.

The roles currently up for grabs:

–Elliott Matthews, 13. Cory and Topanga’s son, described as the “thinking man’s jock.” He’s also described as “good looking, well built, funny and insightful in his observations. Good hearted except for his dedication toward using Riley (Blanchard) as his wrestling practice dummy. His parents worry that he has inherited the ‘Eric Matthews Algernon’ gene and will lose intelligence as time goes by.” This is in reference Cory's brother Eric, who famously got stupider as seasons progressed.

–Tristan Friar, 12-13. A native of Austin, Texas who’s a “cowboy in the city.” His description: “He seems actually possessed of ethics, common sense and a value system making him immediately alien to everybody else except Riley, who believes it’s the value system that attracts her to want to be his friend even though he’s too good looking for her to look at.”

-Shamus Farkle, 12-13: “Future world ruler. Riley’s rebellious best friend Maya is his nemesis, Riley gets between them to save his life. Farkle is wildly attached and protective of both girls and loves equally that Riley doesn’t make him miserable and Maya does.” So he's basically the Minkus of Girl Meets World, more or less. Minkus, of course, was the ever-present genius from Boy Meets World, in the pre-One Tree Hill days of actor Lee Norris. I wonder if the person cast as Shamus will go on to star in a surprisingly long-lived CW drama.

The pilot is set to begin production next month, with hopes that the pilot will be picked up for the 2013-2014 Disney Channel schedule.
