Dora and Friends: Into the City! (often shortened to Dora and Friends) is an American educational animated television series. It is a spin-off and sequel to the Nickelodeon television program Dora the Explorer.
Production
In 2013, Nickelodeon announced that it would produce a spin-off to Dora the Explorer titled as Dora and Friends: Into the City! It will star the heroine Dora as a pre-teen who goes on city adventures with a group of new friends. The series has been picked up for 20 episodes and had its prime-time premiere on Nickelodeon on August 18, 2014.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
On October 9, 2014, Nickelodeon renewed the series for a 20-episode second season.[7]
Plot
Set after the original Dora the Explorer, Dora goes to school and lives in Playa Verde, which is a city. Together with the explorer girls Emma, Kate, Naiya, and Alana and her only male companion, Pablo, Dora and her friends work together and go on amazing adventures while discovering the secrets of their city. Dora has a magical charm bracelet and a smartphone, complete with an app version of the previous Map to aid her. Her friend Kate is fond of drama, while Emma loves music. Alana is tomboyish but loves animals, Naiya is smart and loves to read, and Pablo loves playing soccer.
The characters are all bilingual and speak Spanish in addition to English. However, the Spanish curriculum on Dora and Friends has been expanded to using simple phrases and commands as opposed to solely the single Spanish words used on the previous Dora the Explorer show.
