'DORA' Season Five May Premiere On Nick Jr. In June 2026

Dora the Explorer returns with brand new episodes of DORA, starting Saturday, June 6 at 10:00 a.m. (ET/PT) on the Nick Jr. channel! In a surprising move, it seems that the new episodes will include the launch of season five of Nickelodeon's hit CG-animated Paramount+ Original preschool series.

As mentioned above, this is a bit of a surprise, as Nickelodeon and Paramount+ canceled the series, a reimagining of Nickelodeon's iconic Latina heroine, last November amid a programming strategy shift at Paramount. Whilst the fifth season was already produced, Paramount was seeking to shop the season elsewhere, however, it looks like they've had a change of heart.

Another reason why this is a bit of a surprise is, although season four premiered on Paramount+ in December (and shortly afterwards on Nickelodeon channels internationally), it hasn't yet aired on Nickelodeon's linear TV channels in the U.S., and it seems that it may be being skipped altogether.

In the first all-new DORA episode, "Mami Day/Pet Day," Dora travels across the rainforest to get a gift for Mami. Along the way, she helps her friends make gifts for their mommies too. Then, Dora and Boots throw a party to celebrate Pet Day and show all the rainforest pets just how much they are loved.

DORA stars: Diana Zermeño as Dora; Asher Colton Spence as Boots; Anairis Quiñones as Map and The Fiesta Trio’s Armadillo; AJ Beckles as Swiper; Mike Smith Rivera as Papi; Maria Canals-Barrera as Abuela; Danny Burstein as Grumpy Old Troll and The Fiesta Trio’s Frog and Marmoset; Katarina Sky as Backpack; Logan J. Alarcon-Poucel as Tico; Tandi Fomukong as Isa; Quintún Muñoz as Benny; Eric Bauza as Big Red Chicken; Kathleen Herles, the original voice of Dora the Explorer, as Mami; and Kai Edgar as Dora's cousin, Diego. The series' guest star roster includes: Taboo as Quickatoo; Kate del Castillo as Ale the Alebrije; Dascha Polanco as La Reina; Danny Trejo, as Santa; and Jett Gomez, who joins her dad Taboo on the series, as Quickatina, Quickatoo’s (Taboo) daughter.

DORA is produced by Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank, Calif., and created by Chris Gifford
and Valerie Walsh Valdes. Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes and Rich Magallanes serve as
executive producers. Henry Lenardin-Madden serves as co-executive producer, and Alejandro
Bien-Willner serves as story editor. Max Goodman 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. DORA is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

The extensive ExploraDora Collection on Paramount+ includes Dora (seasons 1-3), the original Dora the Explorer series, the new original feature-length live-action movie Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado, exclusive specials, and even more franchise content, available to stream now.

Since its launch on Nickelodeon on August 14, 2000, Dora the Explorer quickly emerged as a global pop-culture phenomenon and, nearly 25 years later, remains one of the most-watched preschool shows of all time. Dora has crossed social, racial and language boundaries and stands as a hero and friend to millions of children around the world. The series is seen in more than 150 countries and territories and translated in 32 languages on Nickelodeon channels and Paramount+ around the globe and through syndication. Throughout its eight-season run, Dora the Explorer received countless accolades, including Emmy®, Peabody, NAACP, Alma, Imagen, Latino Spirit, Gracie Allen, Parents’ Choice, Common Sense Media and Television Critics Association awards.
