Paramount+ unveiled the first trailer for its new CG animated series, “Dora,” on Monday.
Kathleen Herles, known as the original voice of Nickelodeon’s “Dora the Explorer,” returns to voice Mami, Dora’s mother, while Diana Zermeño voices Dora herself. Joining them on rainforest adventures are Boots, Dora’s best monkey friend, voiced by Asher Colton Spence, and Map, voiced by Anairis Quiñones.
The trailer showcases Dora and her friends navigating through a rainforest jungle using swinging vines, surfboards, and flying animals. At one point, an anxious Boots expresses doubt, to which Dora responds confidently, assuring him that they can overcome any challenge together.
Their adventures include encounters with Swiper, the sneaky fox voiced by Marc Weiner, as they fly across canyons and tackle obstacles.
Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, “Dora” is set to premiere on April 12 on Paramount+ in North America, the U.K., and Australia, targeting its established fan base. Twenty episodes will be available to stream in other Paramount+ markets outside of France and Japan, with the series also airing on Nick Jr. internationally.
“Dora the Explorer” originally aired on Nickelodeon in 2000 and enjoyed eight successful seasons, becoming a beloved preschool franchise. The series, featuring a young American Latina protagonist alongside her monkey companion Boots, captivated audiences with its adventurous quests and iconic characters like Swiper the fox.
The franchise expanded globally, spawning various merchandise, video games, and stage shows. Additionally, the Latina heroine made her big-screen debut in the 2019 live-action adaptation, “Dora and the Lost City of Gold,” starring Isabela Moner, Eva Longoria, and Michael Peña.
