Marc Weiner reprises his role as the voice of Swiper from the original series.

The S.W.I.P.E. Team premiered on Nickelodeon through its Nick Jr. block on September 9, 2019 and concluded its run on TBA with a total of 2 seasons and 52 episodes.

Premise
The S.W.I.P.E. Team takes place in Foxwood Hills, a town populated by anthropomorphic animals, and centers around Swiper, who has gone from being a sneaky thief in the original Dora the Explorer series to the heroic and reliable leader of the titular S.W.I.P.E. (Spies Working In Perfect Efficiency), a team of super spies consisting of Persian cat Percy, inventor raccoon Gizzy and barn owl Fray. Together, the four work to keep Foxwood Hills safe from all sorts of trouble and the diabolical schemes of their rogues gallery; Kodiak the brown bear, Professor Algae the alligator and Frostbite the walrus.

S.W.I.P.E. agents

 * Swiper (voiced by Marc Weiner): The main protagonist of the series. He is a red fox in a blue mask and gloves who serves as the leader of S.W.I.P.E. His other role in the team is to scavenge or retrieve missing objects that are integral to many of the team’s missions, referred to in the series as his usual “swiping”, hence his name. He is also the driver of the Swipemobile, a futuristic car in his likeness that can also shapeshift into different vehicles like a jet and a submarine and is the team’s main mode of transportation. His signature mask and gloves have also received a technological upgrade courtesy of Gizzy; his mask projects a holographic screen detailing the team’s missions while his gloves briefly turn walls transparent when he presses his hands against them, allowing him to detect objects that might be hidden behind them like an X-ray. His catchphrases are “Oh, man!” (just like in the original series, although here it is now uttered whenever something goes wrong during a mission) and the team's motto, “No need to worry, no need to gripe! Hear it from us, you can count on S.W.I.P.E.!”.
 * Percy (voiced by Caleel Harris): A male Persian cat who serves as the second-in-command to Swiper, taking important notes and coming up with a new strategy for the team to perform whenever one fails. His favorite food is salmon sandwiches, and his catchphrase is “Holy hairballs!”.
 * Gizzy (voiced by Leslie Carrara-Rudolph): A female raccoon who is the smartest member of the team and serves as its technician, inventing gadgets and machines that help them out on their missions. She is also responsible for upgrading Swiper’s mask and gloves as well as the invention of the Swipemobile. Her catchphrase is “Goodness gizmos!”.
 * Fray (voiced by Atticus Shaffer): A male barn owl who serves as a GPS of sorts to the team, flying through the air and pinpointing the exact location of the mission with his excellent vision. A running gag in the series is him bumping into objects or crash-landing whenever he makes his entrance. His catchphrase is “Well, I’ll be feathered!”.

Major

 * Kodiak (voiced by Earl Boen): The primary antagonist of the series and the main arch-nemesis of S.W.I.P.E. He is a brown bear who resides in his secret lair, located in a cave on the outskirts of Foxwood Hills. His schemes usually involve causing trouble in Foxwood Hills with the help of his two henchmen, Buck and Scurry, or even trying to take over the town. While he views all four of the S.W.I.P.E. agents as his sworn enemies, he detests Swiper the most, often spitefully calling him “that troublesome fox”. He is based on villains from the James Bond franchise, with the most prominent influence being Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
 * Buck and Scurry (voiced by Beck Bennett and Alexander Polinsky, respectively): An eastern cottontail and a red squirrel who are the long-suffering henchmen of Kodiak, assisting him in his schemes and trying to fight off the S.W.I.P.E. agents whenever they show up to foil them. Buck is the more intelligent and level-headed of the two, while Scurry, on the other hand, is simple-minded and clumsy, often messing up his and Buck’s duties.
 * Professor Algae (voiced by Fred Tatasciore): An American alligator evil scientist with a mixed Russian-German accent and an eyepatch over his right eye who employs a variety of malicious inventions and gadgets in his crimes. His secret lair is located in a pond in Foxwood Hills’ local park.
 * Ignacio (voiced by André Sogliuzzo): Algae's meek, trembling iguana henchman who always refers to his boss as "sir". Even though he is willing to serve Algae and help him in many of his evil plans, he is also a bit nicer in comparison to him as he seems genuinely concerned about the potential damage he might cause, which always prompts Algae to shut him up; he is also more polite to the S.W.I.P.E. agents than his boss. His voice is modeled after Hungarian-American actor Peter Lorre.
 * Frostbite (voiced by Brian Doyle-Murray): A walrus who is obsessed with anything to do with the cold, as most of his schemes are themed around winter and ice. His secret lair is located in a lighthouse somewhere out in the ocean surrounding Foxwood Hills.
 * Frostbite's henchmen are a pair of emperor penguins who assist their boss in many of his schemes. Neither of them speak and have names.

Minor/one-shot

 * Chester Quick (voiced by David Hornsby): A speedy cheetah burglar who proves to be too fast for S.W.I.P.E. to defeat unaided.
 * Con-dor (voiced by Nolan North): A condor conman whose crimes involve swindling the citizens of Foxwood Hills.
 * Awful-tross (voiced by Chris Hardwick): An albatross criminal who attacks by shooting eggs out of his cloaca.
 * Stinker Belle (voiced by Skai Jackson): A skunk whose method of crime involves bombarding Foxwood Hills with stink bombs that release a smelly gas once they explode. Her name is a play on the Peter Pan character Tinker Bell.

Recurring

 * Officer Gifford and Officer Valerie (voiced by Chris Gifford and Valerie Walsh Valdes, respectively): A wolf and a mountain lion who are the resident police officers of Foxwood Hills. They deal with many crimes that occur in the town, but the ones that are too big for them to stop, like the plans of Kodiak, Professor Algae and Frostbite, are left to S.W.I.P.E., whom they have a good relationship with due to the many times they’ve saved Foxwood Hills as well as their affiliation with them. Their names are taken from Chris Gifford and Valerie Walsh Valdes, the co-creators of Dora the Explorer.
 * Mayor Flattail (voiced by Mick Wingert): The responsible yet clueless beaver mayor of Foxwood Hills. He usually congratulates and shows his gratitude towards Swiper and his team whenever they manage to complete their missions and save the day.
