Who Does Samantha Lorraine Play in New ‘Dora the Explorer’ Series?

With the previous movie led by The Last of Us’ actress Isabela Merced, the most recent Dora the Explorer instalment stars a new face. Here’s everything to know about Samantha Lorraine’s part in the upcoming TV series.
Launched back in 2000, Dora the Explorer has been a long-standing phenomenon among children TV projects, which is a reason why the cartoon series is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary with yet another big premiere.
Having expanded to a major franchise, Dora the Explorer saw its first live-action movie titled Dora and the Lost City of Gold back in 2019, with The Last of Us’ newcomer Isabela Merced starring in the leading role.
The movie’s success in the box office was just one of many reasons why Dora the Explorer kept on moving forward, currently getting prepared for its second movie instalment Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado, though this time with another actress landing Dora’s role.
The film is currently just a week away from its long-awaited premiere and probably will make its leading actress another big star of the moment.
