HOLLYWOOD, Calif.–May 20, 2025–Nickelodeon is expanding its globally beloved Dora franchise with a raft of new content leading with the original feature-length live-action movie, Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado, debuting Wednesday, July 2, on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon in the U.S., and shortly after around the world. For a free trial of Paramount+, visit ParamountPlus.com.

First-look images were revealed today of Latina heroine Dora who returns as a 16-year-old, played by Samantha Lorraine (You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah). In this brand-new family movie, the world’s greatest explorer and her friends will trek through the perilous dangers of the Amazonian jungle in search of the ancient treasure of Sol Dorado to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.

The Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado cast also includes: Jacob Rodriguez as Diego, Dora’s 17-year-old loyal cousin and jungle-exploring partner; Mariana Garzón Toro as Naiya, Diego’s bold and no-nonsense coworker; Acston Luca Porto as Sonny, Naiya’s younger brother with boundless energy and curiosity; Daniella Pineda as Camila the Crusader, a legend in the world of archaeology and Dora’s childhood hero; and Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, as the voice of Boots, Dora’s monkey sidekick and best friend.

The film is directed by Alberto Belli (The Naughty Nine) and written by JT Billings (Are You Afraid of the Dark?). Adam Bonnett (Monster High: The Movie) serves as an executive producer, alongside Chris Gifford and Valerie Walsh Valdes (Dora the Explorer).

Production of the movie for Nickelodeon Studios is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Head of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action. Brittany Cope and Linda Halder serve as Nickelodeon’s Executives in Charge of Production. The film is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

The live-action movie kicks off “The Great Dora Fiesta,” an anniversary initiative featuring an array of brand-new multiplatform content and experiences for kids and families, marking 25 historic years of the franchise. “Fiesta” highlights include:

• An hour-long special of Paramount+’s original hit CG-animated preschool series DORA, spotlighting cousin Diego (voiced by Kai Edgar). In “Dora & Diego: Rainforest Rescues,” premiering Wednesday, July 2, on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon, viewers will learn how Diego met his best friend, Baby Jaguar.
• A third season of DORA that will start streaming on Wednesday, July 2, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S., and internationally where the service is available, and include a special birthday-themed episode that will also premiere on Nickelodeon, the week of the 25^th anniversary on Friday, Aug. 15. The upcoming season (26x11-minute episodes) will feature guest stars: Danny Trejo, as Santa; and Jett Gomez, who joins her dad Taboo on the series, as Quickatina, Quickatoo’s (Taboo) daughter. DORA has also been renewed for a fourth season that will premiere later this year.
• Magic Mermaid Adventures (working title), an hour-long global cinema screening event featuring four exclusive never-before-seen episodes, debuting in 20+ markets this fall, along with a brand-new Dora’s Mermaid Adventures podcast and accompanying YouTube series.
• Dora as the ambassador of Beyond the Backpack, powered by Nickelodeon Our World, a kindergarten readiness campaign that provides parents and caregivers with tips and resources focusing on STEM/STEAM, literacy, health & wellness, life skills and family engagement.
• An expansive global DORA consumer products line launch spanning key categories, including toys, apparel, publishing and packaged goods, and a national partnership with the family-favorite Rainforest Café, known for its immersive, jungle-themed dining experience.
• A partnership with Plan International to champion girls’ education, providing school supplies, grants, and backpacks to girls in need around the world, including a continuation of The Dora Fund.
• Multiple soundtrack and song compilations that will be released and available on all music streaming platforms beginning this summer.
• The extensive ExploraDora Collection, including the first and second seasons of DORA, the original Dora the Explorer series and additional franchise content, is available to stream now on Paramount+.

 

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.

Update (6/5) - Nickelodeon will unveil a sneak peek of Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado on Thursday, June 5!
