CG 'Dora The Explorer' Reboot Now Set For Spring 2024

Last February, it was announced that the long-running Nick Jr. series Dora the Explorer would be getting a 3D CG reboot on Paramount+. While initially set for sometime this year, it will unfortunately not be the case.

The June 2023 issue of Toy World Magazine declares that the new series with the Latina heroine will arrive next spring. The series, tentatively titled ¡Dora!, is described as a reimagining of the classic show which “promises to strike the perfect balance between the comfort of the familiar and the excitement of the fresh.” It will feature the notable characters from the original series, with not only Boots and Swiper but as the only released art shows, Isa, Tico, and Benny too. A key modernization to the storytelling is also teased, unclear as to what (could it be the fact that the series was originally in the world of a point-and-click PC game?). While Toy World is a British magazine, that only makes the difference of a day or so based on recent releases rather than be any substantially staggered rollout separated by months or even whole seasons.

In addition, the live-action series that had been announced the year before alongside what became The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder? That's still coming. As previously revealed, it’s tween-aimed and inspired by the tone of the 2019 film Dora and the Lost City of Gold, an occasion that several original series episodes that had still yet to air for five years would be used to commemorate.

Paramount is set to showcase the new Dora the Explorer series at Licensing Expo 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada, taking place June 13-15. Whether it’s both series is unclear. Of course, these are the franchise’s fourth and fifth series, following Go Diego Go! which ran from 2005 to 2011, and Dora and Friends: Into the City, which ran from 2014 to 2017. All three released TV series are currently streaming on Paramount+. As for the movie, it is not streaming on the platform, but its presence on YouTube Primetime Channels is apparently through the service.
