Developed by George Evelyn and Denis Morella, co-creators of Higglytown Heroes and Sheriff Callie’s Wild West, it is a spin-off of the Dora the Explorer franchise set in an alternate continuity, and follows Swiper, one of the main characters from the franchise, as he leads a team of heroic secret agents in the fictional town of Blueberry Hills. 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 April 30, 2021 with a total of 2 seasons and 52 episodes.
== Premise ==
The S.W.I.P.E. Team takes place in Blueberry 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 Blueberry Hills safe from all sorts of trouble and the diabolical schemes of their rogues gallery; Kodiak the brown bear, Professor Algae the alligator, Frostbite the walrus and Tigerman the sumatran tiger.

=== Heroes ===
==== 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 catchphrases are “Goodness gizmos!” (used whenever she is surprised or impressed) and "Swiper, go swiping!" (a variation of the "Swiper, no swiping!" phrase in the original series, used to prompt Swiper to find objects that are either lost or are needed to advance the mission).
* 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' first season is him bumping into objects or crash-landing whenever he makes his entrance. His catchphrases are “Well, I’ll be feathered!” and "I'm alright!".
==== Other ====
* Dora Márquez (voiced by Fatima Ptacek): An 8-year old girl and Swiper's former nemesis who lives in the South American rainforest. She appears in the episode "The Rainforest Resort" along with Boots and Diego to help Swiper and his team foil Kodiak's plan to build a resort over the rainforest.
* Boots (voiced by Koda Gursoy): A boot-wearing monkey and Dora's best friend. He appears in the episode "The Rainforest Resort" along with Dora and Diego to help Swiper and his team foil Kodiak's plan to build a resort over the rainforest.
* Diego Márquez (voiced by Nicolas Cantu): Dora's 9-year old cousin and an animal rescuer and protector. He appears in the episode "The Rainforest Resort" along with Dora and Boots to help Swiper and his team foil Kodiak's plan to build a resort over the rainforest.
* Kate (voiced by Sofia Singer): One of Dora's friends.
* Emma (voiced by Sydney Semple): One of Dora's friends.
* Tony (voiced by Tex Breshear): A Malayan tiger who is also a baker in Blueberry Hills and sells his world-famous cane sugar cornbread. His cathphrases are "Gr-r-reat!" and "Better get that adjusted!".
=== Villains ===
==== 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 Blueberry Hills. His schemes usually involve causing trouble in Blueberry 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”. Though not to the extent of fellow villains Professor Algae and Frostbite, Kodiak does have some degree of technological knowledge, being able to create mind-control helmets and even reprogramming one of Gizzy's inventions to be hostile towards the S.W.I.P.E. agents. 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 Blueberry 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 Blueberry 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. In his debut episode "Quick as a Cheetah", he steals a giant ruby from the Marquez Museum, and in his second appearance "Ready, Set, S.W.I.P.E!", he enters Blueberry Hills' annual racing derby in an equally-speedy race car that he uses to cheat in the race.
* Con-dor (voiced by Nolan North): A condor conman whose crimes involve swindling the citizens of Blueberry Hills.
* Awful-tross (voiced by Chris Hardwick): An albatross criminal who attacks by shooting eggs out of his cloaca. He later recruits his family to help him in his second appearance.
** Daddy-tross and Mommy-tross (voiced by Bill Chott and Amber Hood, respectively): Awful-tross' parents who help their son in his second crime spree in Blueberry Hills.
** Allie-tross (voiced by Annie Mumolo): Awful-tross' sister who helps him in his second crime spree in Blueberry Hills.
** Axel-tross and Amy-tross (both voiced by Lara Jill Miller): Awful-tross' cousins.
* Stinker Belle (voiced by Skai Jackson): A striped skunk whose method of crime involves bombarding Blueberry Hills with stink bombs that release a smelly gas once they explode, and later tries to replace every flower in the town with hers. Her name is a play on the Peter Pan character Tinker Bell.
* Le Painter (voiced by Martin Short): A poodle painter with a French accent who plans to paint every building in Blueberry Hills.
* Pork Chop (voiced by Paul Nakauchi): A pig with a Japanese accent who is trained in the art of kung fu and uses his skills learned to commit crimes in Blueberry Hills.
* Pyro Panda (voiced by Donovan Patton): A giant panda who commits arson across Blueberry Hills with the aid of a special suit designed to let him shoot fire from his hands.
* Mimic Mike (voiced by Ernie Sabella): A mimic octopus who has the uncanny ability to morph into just about anyone or anything that he comes across, and uses that ability to sneak around and commit crimes without the risk of being detected.
* Miss Misfortune (voiced by Grace Kaufman): A black cat who uses her agility and stealthiness to cause bad luck among the citizens of Blueberry Hills and slip away before notice.
* Ulysses Hank Tigerman (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker): A sumatran tiger who stops at nothing until he finds out the secret formula for cane sugar cornbread, he is mostly known by his surname "Tigerman".
=== 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 Blueberry 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 Blueberry 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 Blueberry Hills. He usually congratulates and shows his gratitude towards Swiper and his team whenever they manage to complete their missions and save the day.
* Achoo Rabbit (voiced by Anthony Pierini): A gray hare that often sneezes, he is often seen as a side character.
=== Minor ===
* Grandma Fox (voiced by Rita Gardner): Swiper's doting grandmother who comes to visit the team in the episode "Grandma Fox Comes to Visit". Swiper still loves her, but since he has matured over time, he's also embarrassed by her rather babyish treatment of him, something which gets a chuckle out of his teammates and even Kodiak; the latter even takes advantage of this by calling him a "granny's boy" to mock him. She is eventually revealed to be a retired super spy who arrives to help the team beat Kodiak at the last minute.
* Uncle Snagski (voiced by Alan Tudyk): A son of Grandma Fox who is also the brother of Swiper's birth father, he's the one in charge of the Animal Rescue Center near Blueberry Hills.
