The family of Cory and Topanga is quickly expanding! According to EW.com, the Matthews clan has welcomed a son to the upcoming Disney Channel spin off GIRL MEETS WORLD. 13-year-old actor Teo Halm has been cast in the role of 'Elliott', joining 'Spy Kids' actress Rowan Blanchard who will portray the family's 13-year-old daughter, Riley.
The Matthews parents have shared the joyous news on Twitter. "Can't believe I have a son... Welcome to the Matthews family @TeoHalm. #GMW," Ben Savage wrote yesterday.
On Monday, actress Danielle Fishel tweeted, "I have an announcement to make. I have a gorgeous daughter (@rowblanchard) and a handsome son (@teohalm). @BenSavage and I love you both!! If having real life children is as hard as finding these two beauties (@rowblanchard & @teohalm) then I think I'm happy with being a TV mom. Ppl will be mad at me 4 saying this but whatevs. We worked so hard to find the perfect kids. We found them. I love them already. Get ready."
Production for the pilot episode will begin later this month. If the series is picked up by Disney Channel, it will air during the 2013-2014 season.
