Paramount+ has released the debut trailer for a brand-new Dora animated series set to launch in April. 

Dora the Explorer is making a return in the brand-new CG-animated pre-school series, Dora. The new series, produced by Nickelodeon Animation, will feature 26 11-minute episodes set to premiere on Friday 12th of April in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia exclusively on Paramount+. Meanwhile, 20 episodes will be available to stream in all Paramount+ international markets outside France and Japan.

The upcoming Dora series follows the bilingual explorer, Dora and her best friend Boots as they take off on thrilling adventures in a rainforest. Guided by the reliable Map, Dora and her friends must overcome many obstacles while challenged by the very sly fox, Swiper. Kathleen Herles, the original voice of Dora the Explorer, is making a return to the new series as Mami, and Mike Smith Rivera is joining the cast as Papi.

In addition to Zermeño’s breakout role as Dora, other cast members joining the series are Maria Canals-Barrera as Abuela; Danny Burstein as Grumpy Old Troll and The Fiesta Trio’s Frog and Marmoset; Katarina Sky as Backpack; Donovan Monzon-Sanders as Tico; Tandi Fomukong as Isa; Quintún Muñoz as Benny; Chris Gifford as Big Red Chicken; and Quiñones as The Fiesta Trio’s Armadillo.

The new series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank, California. Rich Magallanes, Chris Gifford and Valerie Walsh Valdes are executive producers. Henry Lenardin-Madden serves as co-executive producer and Alejandro Bien-Willner is the story editor. Marielle Kaar is Nickelodeon’s executive in charge of production for the series. Dora the Explorer was created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes and Eric Weiner.

This spring will also introduce Dora’s Recipe for Adventure, Nickelodeon’s brand-new podcast aimed at pre-schoolers and families, which centres on Dora and celebrates culture, food, family and the importance of embracing oneself. Featuring all-new music, the 10-episode audio series follows Dora and Boots on their journeys through the rainforest as they search for the missing ingredients for some of her family’s favourite dishes, such as caldo de piedra (stone soup), arroz con huevos (rice with eggs) and maduros (fried plantains). Dora’s Recipe for Adventure will be available wherever listeners get their podcasts.
