The Boy Meets World crew has a new project up their sleeves.

Series alums Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence), Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter), Will Friedle (Eric Matthews), Trina McGee (Angela Moore), William Daniels (Mr. Feeny), Bonnie Bartlett Daniels (Dean Lila Bolander), Betsy Randle (Amy Matthews), William Russ (Alan Matthews) and Anthony Tyler Quinn (Jonathan Turner) all reunited on Saturday for a panel at 90s Con 2024 moderated by PEOPLE's Dory Jackson. While there, Fishel, Strong and Friedle — who co-host the Pod Meets World podcast — shared some exciting news with the fans.

"We aren't even sure if it's ever gonna go anywhere or not. We're not necessarily intending on doing anything with it. But like, Bon [Bonnie Bartlett Daniels] mentioned, this has been such an amazing group of people that we have been able to stay in touch with for all this time," Fishel, 42, began. "It really kicked into high gear last year when we started the podcast and we started doing some live shows."

Fishel continued, "So, at some point, Rider, the creator of the idea of the podcast, also said to us, 'Do you think we should record any of this and do like a documentary of the experiences?'"

After the crowd roared with cheer, Fishel explained that while they "have this footage of us on the show" they "don't have a ton of behind-the-scenes footage."

"We have some, but not a lot. And [Rider] said, 'I think there's going to be a time whether it's in five years, 10 years or another 30 years where we're going to look back on the experience that we're all having now and wish we could relive it and experience it again,'" she shared. "So, we have a little film crew who has been interviewing fans at our live shows who's here with us this weekend. And, you know, went to dinner with all of us last night."

"Even if we never air it anywhere, it's just for us," Fishel added. "But yeah, we're really excited about it."

Friedle, 47, then shared that they "shot yesterday in my childhood bedroom." (The actor grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, where the annual convention is taking place.)

"And it hasn't been touched since 16, when he left to do Boy Meets World," Strong, 44, joked.

Boy Meets World ran on ABC from 1993 to 2000 for seven seasons. The series, created by Michael Jacobs and April Kelly, later garnered a spinoff, titled Girl Meets World, that ran from 2014 to 2017 for three seasons.
