Thirty years after Boy Meets World made them teen idols, Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle and Rider Strong reunite for a wildly popular rewatch podcast and national tour. Funny, candid and unexpectedly emotional, Doc Meets World becomes a nostalgic ride through fame, friendship and the messy reality of growing up on screen and off.

Doc Meets World premiered at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival and will be released in January 2027.
 
2026, 86 minutes, color | Directed by Chris Levitus, Zane Rubin | Featuring Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, Rider Strong | Produced by Alexandra Barreto
