A generation of kids fell in love with the relationship between "Boy Meets World's" Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel), and now the Disney Channel's sequel series, "Girl Meets World," has found a couple for the next generation. On Tuesday, the network announced that 14-year-old Peyton Meyer has been cast as Tristan Friar, classmate and first crush of the show's titular "Girl," Riley Matthews (Rowan Blanchard).

Disney also announced that five-year-old August Maturo has been cast as Cory and Topanga’s youngest son, Louis Matthews. Maturo has previously had roles in "Weeds" and "How I Met Your Mother," in which he played a six-year-old Marvin Eriksen in a flashforward. Teo Halm was previously announced as Riley and Louis' older brother, Elliot, while Sabrina Carpenter will play Riley's best friend, Maya.

In addition to Savage and Fishel, another "Boy Meets World" alum is confirmed to reprise his role in the sequel: William Daniels, who played Cory and Topanga's beloved teacher Mr. Feeny, will appear in the premiere. Other former stars Rider Strong (Shawn), Will Friedle (Eric) and Maitland Ward Baxter (Rachel) also visited the set while the pilot was filming.

At the ATX Television Festival, creator Michael Jacobs described "Girl Meets World" as Riley's coming-of-age story, although he did concede that it will contain nods to the original series. "My feeling is that the premise of the show is about these two girls having a friendship, going off into the world we now know -- ‘Girl Meets World’ will be unique from ‘Boy Meets World’ in that way," he said. "However, it is the child of an original program, and there is no way that I’m not going to include everybody who wants to be included on this piece, because they’re the genesis of the piece. For me, we may build a new house, but we’re building it on ground, and that ground was ‘Boy.’"

"Girl Meets World" is scheduled to premiere in 2014.

Joshua Jackson, Michelle Williams & Katie Holmes On "Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23"

While we're very excited to see Busy Philipps and James Van Der Beek back together on the ABC comedy, a "Dawson's Creek" reunion is just not the same with the rest of the gang. Van Der Beek, Jackson and Williams have been teasing a reunion for a while now, but Holmes seemed iffy. However, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/03/katie-holmes-dawsons-creek-reunion-tom-cruise_n_1647000.html" target="_hplink">after her divorce from Tom Cruise, it was reported that he was the one who didn't want the Capeside crew to reconnect</a>. But now that Holmes is a single lady, someone needs to get this started!

Christina Applegate On "Modern Family"

It would be heartwarming to see the "Married With Children" father and daughter reunited on "Modern Family" after all these years. Maybe Applegate could make a cameo as a wacky cousin from Jay's ex-wife's Dede's side of the family.

Elizabeth Berkley and Lark Voorhies on "White Collar"

It's beyond time the ladies of "Saved by the Bell" reunite. Elizabeth Burke's (Tiffani Thiessen) high school friends (Elizabeth Berkley and Lark Voorhies) come calling and need the FBI's help. Good thing Peter and Neal are available.

Max Casella on "How I Met Your Mother"

"Doogie Howser, M.D." veterans gotta stick together. Max Casella could pop up on "How I Met Your Mother" as a doctor Barney turns to when the threat of an STI rears its ugly head.

Jurnee Smollett on "Baby Daddy"

It's been a few years, but we bet Michelle Tanner's "Full House" BFFs still keep in touch. Jurnee Smollett could pop up on "Baby Daddy" as Tucker's (Tahj Mowry) old flame. Could it be rekindled?

Judith Light On "Mistresses"

Remember the ladies of "Who's the Boss?" Alyssa Milano starred as a housekeeper's (Tony Danza) daughter and Judith Light was the matriarch of the family they lived with and are employed by -- Milano's new series "Mistresses" seems like the perfect opportunity to find a brand new TV reunion around the bend. Light, who recurs on "Law & Order: SVU," could play a legendary famous mistress who helps Milano and the other newbies get through their experiences ... or, she could play the mother of one of the cheating men, who blames it all on his mistress.

Kel Mitchell On "Saturday Night Live"

When "Kenan & Kel" returned to TeenNick and Kenan hosted its opening night on the orange couch, #WheresKel was trending on Twitter. Kenan, an "SNL" cast member, has maintained a steady career after the success of their show and "Good Burger," but we haven't seen much of Kel lately -- he's done a lot of voice work in the past decade and has stuck to the kid market, guest-starring on Disney's "Good Luck Charlie." But maybe it's time for Kel to grow up and reunite with Kenan on "SNL." Will the orange soda jokes translate?
