Could ‘Girl Meets World’ season 4 air on Freeform, Netflix, anywhere else?
Tonight, the bad news officially came down courtesy of the Disney Channel that despite having itself a great run for three years and a ton of attention from many fans, “Girl Meets World” is officially over. The network has canceled the series, starring Rowan Blanchard and Sabrina Carpenter, and that the upcoming three episodes are going to be the last ones to come on the air.
Or … are they? Before we dive into this story further, we want to make it clear that the statement from the show’s writers on the end of the show sounded definitive, and there doesn’t appear to be any sign that the show is being shopped elsewhere. We don’t want to create false hope or mislead you. Instead, we just want to look at if the show could air somewhere else in the event that another network or provider out there was interested. Here are some of the possible suitors off the top of our head that someone should certainly put feelers out there to.
Freeform – It’s the most logical destination given that they do half-hour comedy already, and they are meant for a slightly older audience. It feels almost like the perfect evolution for Riley and Maya, as they get older, to air their stories on an older-skewing network. They’re also owned by the same parent company, so there’s synergy there.
ABC – This is a real longshot given that if the ratings weren’t good enough for the Disney Channel, they probably wouldn’t be good enough for the network that originally aired “Boy Meets World.” Still, pondering over it as a Friday-night show, possibly in the summer, is interesting.
Netflix – This is the destination for so many revivals these days, and they also stream past “Girl Meets World” seasons. We do think that there could be some possibilities here given how well “Fuller House” has done, but at the same time you would have to go out and re-market the show all over again. We’re not sure they are willing to do that.
In theory, there are other possibilities like Hulu, Nickelodeon, MTV, and elsewhere, but so many of them feel like they have no real skin in the game right now in terms of a studio connection or an audience. If there is any hope at all, it’s probably with the three networks / services above.

It’s truly difficult to find family friendly shows , that also have life lessons. But of course Disney & this world is nothing like it was when I was growing up, that’s a great shame.

To end Girl meets World now would be devastating. I really hope it moves to another network. I think it could be very succesful, and maybe even last as long as BMW did.

Same I would like to see GMW go onto free form or even Netflix but mostly free form because many people are devastated that this could be the end of a great show that touched so many people’s lives/hearts

I was not pleased when the show was picked up by Disney Channel because I projected this exact fate. I also felt that the show would lose its down-to-earth earth character that older fans have come to associate with BMW. Furthermore, I didn’t think that a run on Disney Channel would give the writers room to insert edgier content as done with BMW. That’s why I thought the show should have started on Freeform. If it POSSIBLY moves to Freeform, it would, as you said, have that synergy since Freeform is owned by the same parent company.
