Few television shows capture the essence of growing up like Boy Meets World. Running from 1993 to 2000, the show followed Cory Matthews and his friends as they navigated school, love, and life lessons, often guided by the wise Mr. Feeny. More than two decades later, the cast remains a subject of intense curiosity, and their lives in the current date of December 2025 are more fascinating than ever, featuring major career shifts, a hit podcast, and a confirmed, highly anticipated documentary.
The biggest news surrounding the beloved cast involves a deep dive into their own history. Several core cast members are actively working together to celebrate—and perhaps re-examine—their time on the iconic sitcom, proving that the bond between Cory, Topanga, and Shawn is still incredibly strong. From a run for Congress to a surprise 2024 pregnancy announcement, here is the definitive, up-to-date look at what the Boy Meets World cast is doing now.
The Core Cast: Biographical Profiles and Latest 2024-2025 Updates
The main ensemble of Boy Meets World has pursued diverse paths since the series finale, with some embracing their legacy and others forging entirely new careers. The latest updates on the stars are often the most surprising.
- Ben Savage (Cory Matthews): Born September 13, 1980 (Age 45). Since starring in the spin-off Girl Meets World, Savage made a significant pivot to politics. He ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in California's 30th Congressional District as a Democrat, though he ultimately lost in the primary election on March 5, 2024.
- Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence): Born May 5, 1981 (Age 44). Fishel has become a central figure in the Boy Meets World resurgence. She reprised her role in Girl Meets World, is a co-host of the hit podcast Pod Meets World, and is an executive producer on the upcoming cast documentary.
- Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter): Born December 11, 1979 (Age 46). Strong has a strong background in directing and writing, in addition to acting. He co-hosts the Pod Meets World podcast and is a key figure in the new documentary project. He is slated to appear in the upcoming 2025 series Matlock.
- Will Friedle (Eric Matthews): Born August 11, 1976 (Age 49). Friedle is best known today for his prolific voice acting career, including the roles of Terry McGinnis/Batman in Batman Beyond and Ron Stoppable in Kim Possible. He co-hosts Pod Meets World and is involved in the documentary.
- William Daniels (George Feeny): Born March 31, 1927 (Age 98). The legendary actor, whose career spans over eight decades, is still thriving. He celebrated his 98th birthday in 2024 and remains a beloved figure to fans, often expressing his appreciation for the enduring love for Mr. Feeny.
- Trina McGee (Angela Moore): Born September 6, 1969 (Age 56). McGee, who played Shawn Hunter's love interest, made headlines in June 2024 when she announced she was expecting her fourth child at the age of 54.
The Pod Meets World Phenomenon and The New Documentary
The most significant and current development for fans is the ongoing, collaborative work of Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong, and Will Friedle. Their podcast, Pod Meets World, launched in 2022, has become a cultural touchstone, re-examining the show episode by episode and providing a fresh perspective on the challenges and joys of being a child actor.
Unpacking the Hit Podcast
The podcast is more than just a rewatch show; it serves as a form of therapy and reconciliation for the cast. Through candid conversations, the hosts have discussed everything from on-set dynamics and behind-the-scenes drama to the lasting impact of the show on their adult lives. They regularly feature other Boy Meets World alums, including Trina McGee (Angela Moore), Matthew Lawrence (Jack Hunter), and Betsy Randle (Amy Matthews), adding layers of topical authority to the show’s universe.
The success of Pod Meets World is a testament to the enduring love for the series. It has allowed the cast to reclaim their narrative and connect with a new generation of fans who are discovering the show on streaming platforms.
A Documentary is Officially in the Works
Following the success of the podcast and a major reunion at '90s Con, Fishel, Strong, and Friedle announced in 2024 that they are filming a documentary about their experiences. This project is a direct result of the deep-dive conversations they’ve had on the podcast.
The documentary is expected to offer an even more intimate and in-depth look at the show's production, the pressures of fame, and how the cast members navigated the transition from child stars to adults. This project ensures the Boy Meets World legacy remains fresh and relevant well into 2025 and beyond.
From Cory Matthews to the Campaign Trail: Ben Savage's Political Path
While Danielle, Rider, and Will have embraced the nostalgia circuit, Ben Savage has chosen a decidedly different, and highly publicized, path. The actor who played Cory Matthews, the show's central character, has focused his energy on a career in public service.
In a move that surprised many fans, Savage ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024. His campaign for California's 30th Congressional District demonstrated a serious commitment to politics, a significant departure from his comedic and dramatic acting roots.
Although he was unsuccessful in the primary, his candidacy was a major news story, highlighting the vast differences in the cast's post-show careers. Savage's transition from Hollywood to the campaign trail underscores his desire to be known for more than just his iconic role as Cory Matthews. He seems ready to step away from his sitcom legacy, a contrast to his co-stars' documentary efforts.
Behind the Scenes: Other Cast Members and Lasting Legacies
The enduring appeal of Boy Meets World also rests on its incredible supporting cast, many of whom have notable updates of their own.
- William Daniels (Mr. Feeny): At 98, Daniels is a testament to longevity in Hollywood. He and his wife, Bonnie Bartlett Daniels, celebrated over 70 years of marriage, a remarkable feat. Fans continue to cherish his wisdom and presence.
- Trina McGee (Angela Moore): Her announcement in mid-2024 that she was expecting a child at 54 was a moment of viral joy and celebration from fans and co-stars alike. She has also been vocal on the podcast about her experiences on the show, adding important context to the series' history.
- Rider Strong's Future Projects: In addition to the podcast, Strong is continuing his acting and directing work, with a role in the 2024 film Late Bloomers and a confirmed part in the 2025 series reboot of Matlock, starring Kathy Bates.
The current activities of the Boy Meets World cast—the podcast, the documentary, the political run, and personal life milestones—demonstrate that the "Brave New World" they entered in the 2000 finale is still full of surprises. The cast's willingness to openly discuss their past while pursuing new, ambitious projects ensures their story remains one of the most compelling in television history.
