For twenty years and over 100 episodes, voice actor Kathleen Herles was the original voice of Dora the Explorer. A bilingual voice actress is now taken with Diana Zermeño in the Dora series. Herles’s journey in that realm didn’t end there, as she took on a new role with the preschool series.

In this all-new CG animated series and character-driven storylines, Dora follows our favorite explorer and her best monkey friend Boots (Asher Colton Spence), as they have their adventures through a fantastical rainforest. They are guided by a trustworthy Map (Anairis Quiñones) to overcome obstacles while being challenged by a mischievous fox (Marc Weiner).

The studios also announced Herles returning to the series as Mami with Mike Smith Rivera Papi.

Other previously announced cast members included Maria Canals-Barrera as Abuela; Danny Burstein as Grumpy Old Troll and The Fiesta Trio’s Frog and Marmoset; Katarina Sky as Backpack; Donovan Monzon-Sanders as Tico; Tandi Fomukong as isa; Quintún Muñoz as Benny; Chris Gifford as Big Red Chicken; and Quiñones as The Fiesta Trio’s Armadillo.

Also, this season’s guest stars feature Taboo as Quickatoo and Kate del Castillo as Ale the Alebrije.
