The Nick Jr. channel will premiere the fourth season of Nickelodeon's popular CG-animated preschool series,
DORA, on Monday, October 5! A reimagining of Nickelodeon's iconic Latina heroine, two new episodes of
DORA will air back-to-back weeknights at 9:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. (ET/PT), respectively, on the Nick Jr. channel.
This will mark season four's linear TV premiere, following the season's debut on Paramount+ in December last year.
The news follows Nickelodeon and Paramount+
canceling the series last November amid a programming strategy shift at Paramount. Whilst a fifth season was already produced, Paramount was seeking to shop the season elsewhere, however, it looks like they've had a change of heart. Season five has since
rolled out onto Nick Jr. channels internationally, with a sixth in production.
