Get Blake! was created by Antoine Guilbaud, an animator currently based in Los Angeles. Guilbaud's previous experiences in animation have included writing and storyboarding on hit series such as Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, Camp Lazlo, and Phineas & Ferb. Acclaimed independent cartoonist Kaz, who had previously collaborated with Guilbaud on the latter two shows, was brought on board as co-executive producer.

The show ended on October 30, 2015 with a total of 26 episodes.
