A rumor has been going around this week that the remake series of the classic hit 'Boy Meets World' could be on its last season, but is it?

The rumor began after recent ratings numbers showed a dramatic decline in viewership. The show, which began with a .6 Nielsen rating, has recently been hovering around the .4 mark. The bad ratings news was followed by the leak of photos showing the show's cast crying on set.

But Is It Really Cancelled?

Different sources offer differing details. The International Business Times claims that Disney released an official statement denying the cancellation; however, the source they cite is a GMW fan website, not something put out by Disney.

The producers for 'Girl Meets World,' meanwhile, have posted several cryptic messages on their Twitter account, including these:

There have been rumors regarding the show's cancellation in the past. In fact, after every season, there has been some murmuring suggesting Disney would be cancelling the show for low ratings.

Aside from Blanchard and Maturo, none of the GMW cast members have made any comment on the current cancellation rumor.

But several cast members have become involved in other ventures. Sabrina Carpenter will be releasing a new music album, On Purpose, in a few days, and Rider Strong is busy promoting his new movie, 'Too Late.'
