Samantha Lorraine leads a grown-up "Dora" reboot for a new generation: "It's a legacy to live up to"

Samantha Lorraine takes on the iconic role of Dora in Nickelodeon's new live-action film "Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado," which premiers Wednesday on Paramount+.

The film follows 16-year-old Dora, her cousin Diego and faithful companion Boots as they trek through the Amazon jungle searching for ancient treasure. Unlike the preschool animated series that made Dora a household name, this adaptation explores more mature themes while maintaining the character's signature optimism and adventurous spirit.

"It's a legacy to live up to. There's a lot of expectation and pressure when it comes to it," Lorraine said. "We all grew up with Dora and the iconicness that is her."
