The new season is set to put the gang in the more complex, complicated and drama-filled world of high school. No concrete details were provided. The show is notable for dealing with themes and issues kids rarely open up about such as autism and cyber-bullying.
Currently, the show is tackling the complications of the love triangle among Lucas, Riley and her best friend Maya. The next episode is titled "Girl Meets the New Year," where Riley's feelings for Lucas she fought hard to get rid of will be revealed in front of everyone during a countdown party.
The episode, which is the last "Girl Meets World" season 2 episode for this year, won't air until Dec. 4. The next time viewers will see Riley, Maya and the lovable posse after that will be in what seems to be another two-part special titled "Girl Meets Stem" and "Girl Meets Sludge" both airing on Jan. 4.
