Given how they show a new GMW one week and then they don't for a couple of weeks they are trying to prolong season three til next year. Disney is alienating the fans to a point that they will no longer want to watch GMW anymore.
that said now that Darby is on The Voice, and that they're selling artwork and dismantling sets, I guess the show is ending and that's why Darby's on The Voice.
Unless she gets or has been eliminated!

They always air some of the episodes in the next calendar year. A season is usually from around September through March or May depending on the number of episodes for the show. They also have, i think, waited til November to say whether or not they are going to renew. I don't understand why people are expecting either of these things to be different this time around.

That's a season for a traditional broadcast network (ABC, CBS, FOX, etc.), not Disney. Disney airs programming all year long and seasons can begin in any month (Stuck in the Middle - February, etc.)

No they've done this w/ past seasons of GMW because it could go weeks b4 they'd post the new episode on demand, the GMW season would always end early 2017. Women, can't live with em; So stuff your mother and live with that.(Bullet Tooth 504)
That's been the pattern with Disney channel (and I think Nick treats some or most of their shows the same) for well over a decade or two now. They always tend to drag out their shows in a way that allows them to stretch what would be a normal TV season's worth of shows into almost a whole calendar year. GMW season 1, for instance, ran from June 2014 to April 2015 with a lot months having only 1 or 2 new eps (if any) followed by another month of reruns. That's just how the channel seems to operate with a lot of their shows. The only reason GMW season 2 didn't seem AS bad at it was because they had 30 eps instead of 20, but it still ran from May (premiering barely a month after season 2 ended, same as season 3 premiered shortly after season 2) to March, and due to airing the first 5 episodes in the first week, last season was barely better than this one about all the rerun weeks. It's not one of the signs they are absolutely cancelling.
While they may be actually cancelling, I have a hard time believing that if they are cancelling that it's due to anything about the show, and not because they want either something else in the BMW universe (less likely but not impossible), or because they want to exploit Sabrina's current fame more before she ages out of the Disney starlet age range. And the way they're going about it, making it a big mystery instead of simply saying "yes this is the last season" or "Disney isn't considering cancellation" or something along those lines, makes me wonder if they're not planning either something big (like actually and for the first time moving the show to Freeform to let it expand into more serious subject matter as one unlikely but older fan wanted option), or stirring up the fans to try to get more people fired up about the show before moving forward. This whole uproar about a Disney show being cancelled is not very common. Usually their shows just end without much fuss or fanfare (the occasional really popular show will get a DCOM sometime within a year or so after the show finale) so it is odd to me that the network would act weird about how they are responding to the question to the point it's stirring up so much attention (the weird part being if are attracting so much attention and stirring up everyone just to turn around and eventually say "yeah, it's over").
Someone ever tries to kill you... you try to kill em right back.
yeah,also dismantling sets doesn't mean destroying sets, like Supergirl moved to The CW and when a whole bunch of ABC Shows moved there when it was WB, some sets were new but a lot remained the same.
Batman 66 was supposed to move *From* ABC but The Batcave set was destroyed b4 NBC offered to continue on w/ the show.
Wonder Woman also moved from ABC to NBC, So dismantling might just taking down and moving to another Studio. even though Disney owns/owned ABC Family/Free-form

What about that god awful Wonder-Woman Movie w/ the blonde tennis player. that may have been ABC or was that CBS too!
That was ABC. It was a precursor to the series with Cathy Lee Crosby ("That's Incredible!") playing Wonder Woman before Lynda Carter took the role.

While I found the movie enjoyable in a "B rated" sort of way, I'm so glad that they had the sense to continue on anyways and with a different actress.

True, true. The final Wizards of Waverly Place season started on November 12, 2010, and ended on January 6, 2012. Disney Channel likes to end its most popular series between January and March, regardless of how many months earlier the final season started. (But Jessie's final season (only 20 episodes) ran from January 9 to October 16, 2015.) If you want to talk about seriously dragging out a final season, Phineas and Ferb's stretched over 2½ years, from December 7, 2012, to June 12, 2015, with a special one-hour show (The O.W.C.A. Files) on November 9, 2015.
I think I'd be very frustrated were I a main cast member of Girl Meets World because I'd want to know if I should move on with my career elsewhere.
An October 13 New York Times puff piece on Rowan Blanchard in its Thursday Styles section said a fourth season was still unknown. (This being a Styles section cover story (with a page-wide photo) it played up what Rowan was wearing when they talked to her and fashion shows she attended in Manhattan. The story did mention her feminism, her social media postings on political issues, and identifying as "queer," but despite being a profile she was barely quoted. I was disappointed because I wanted to hear more of what she believes on political issues. I've read two other interviews of her and I liked what she said. She's got a good head on her shoulders.)
