A number of Boy Meets World stars are slated to reprise their roles in the Disney Channel spin-off, Girl Meets World.

Is Boy Meets World Character Mr. Feeny Dead In Disney Channel Spin-Off?

One notable member of the ABC cast set to appear on the new series is Rider Strong, who played Shawn Hunter, the cocky, but vulnerable best friend to Cory Matthews (Ben Savage).

While Strong's involvement has been rumored for some time, it was confirmed Wednesday that Strong will appear in two episodes of Girl Meets World, a holiday episode and another episode for which the storyline has yet to be disclosed. Cast members have assured audiences that the friendship will harken back to Cory and Shawn's days as kids in Mr. Feeny's (William Daniels) classroom. Will Strong have the Shawn Hunter hair though? Strong has spoken of how they had to curl his hair to get it to look as it did back on Boy Meets World and the actor no longer sports the long locks, but could the style make a comeback?

Girl Meets World Bridging The Gap Between Old And New Audiences?

There has also been talk that Shawn will do some bonding with Maya (Sabrina Carpenter), the best friend of Cory and Topanga's (Danielle Fishel) daughter Riley (Rowan Blanchard). Maya is going through some of the same conflict at home and in school that Shawn dealt with growing up and the two share quite a few character traits.

Girl Meets World premieres on the Disney Channel June 27.
