Paramount+ has renewed its new “Dora” series for a second season.
based on “Dora the Explorer,” which ran on Nickelodeon from 2000 to 2019, the animated preschool series follows a Dora (voiced by Diana Zermeño), and her best friend, a monkey named Boots (Asher Colton Spence), as they embark on adventures in a fantastical rainforest. Guided by their trustworthy talking Map (Anairis Quiñones), Dora and her friends must work together to overcome many obstacles while being challenged by a sneaky fox named Swiper (Marc Weiner). Kathleen Herles, the original voice of Dora the Explorer, voices Dora’s mother aka Mami.
“Kids and family programming is consistently one of the most popular genres on Paramount+ and we’re thrilled that our audience has already embraced ‘Dora,’” said Jeff Grossman, executive vice president of programming at Paramount+. “It’s an incredible opportunity to introduce this beloved character and iconic franchise to a whole new generation.”
“Our audiences have embraced the new ‘Dora’ series with open arms, and it’s incredible how she continues to capture the imaginations of preschoolers around the world with her extraordinary rainforest adventures,“ said Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation. “We can’t wait for kids to discover all of the new fantastical places and colorful characters in the second season while learning and playing along with their good friend Dora.”
