The series was announced in June 2011, when Nickelodeon UK and Teletoon Canada had ordered a new animated television series from British production company Platinum Films and Canadian outfit Dream Mill with Toronto-based animation studio Arc Productions providing animation services for the upcoming series. Voice acting for the series was primarily recorded at Pinewood Studios in the UK.
In June 2012, Platinum Films announced that they had secured ITV Studios Global Entertainment as the show's licensor in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand; where they would handle rights for merchandising, publishing, promotional and home entertainment.

In September 2013 and October 2014, the series was renewed for a third and a fourth season by free-to-air commissioner ITV with Bangalore-based Indian animation studio Xentrix Studios taking over animation production for the final two seasons from Canadian animation studio Arc Productions as Canadian studio Dream Mill dropping out of the series, making the series a full-time British production.
In October 2020, Platinum Films announced that they would transfer worldwide distribution rights to the series from its in-house distribution business to London-based British distribution company Serious Lunch.
