## Concept

Since the start of the series, the original group of friends tried to rescue one of their abducted friends. Later, the friends continued to make appearances on later movies and shows. Each movie has it's original cast, making them to rescue the world and/or their friends. During their journey, they show the culture of the places they visit, get to fight bosses and complete tasks and have to survive through the many obstacles of the dangerous worlds. The characters mostly get abducted one by one during their journey.

## History

On 2002, founder Ella came with a story about a group of friends traveling to a fantasy world where they had to save the world against an evildoer and on the way the friends would be abducted one by one until there was one Survivor remaining. This trend continued and little stories began with the original cast consisting of Meghan, Yasmin, Luna, Phoebet, Sascha, Jade, Amber, Fianna, Lynn, Roxxyt and Angelina. After a few little series, the first movie premiered in late 2002, with only Amber being absent from it. Despite the amount of success of the first movie, Angelina decided to leave the group until her comeback in 2016.

From 2003 to 2006, the group would continue to make movies and started to become an world-wide sensation. The movies Safari Adventure and Spooky Island set records but couldn't pass the success of Moon Kingdom in the slightest.

In 2007, production team announced that the original cast members would leave the franchise to make room for a new generation as the amount of applicants for the new roles were "ridiculous", stated by one of the producers as there were over ten thousand people who auditioned. BIT: Evil Strikes Back would be the last movie with the original castmembers only., premiering in early 2008.

The same year six females were cast for the new generation. Zoey, Cloe, Myra, Lindsay, Loreen and Daphne were chosen to portray their roles in the new BIT installments. It became quiet from there until 2010 where the six new members starred in their own movie, called BIT: The Next Generation. The reaction of the audience wasn't as promising as with the original cast, resulting in the next movie being the most poorly scored movie in the entire franchise. Because of this, Daphne decided to retire from the franchise.

A change was made in 2012. Due to the audience and fanbase wanting the original cast back, a mix-up was made of original members Meghan, Sascha and Roxxyt together with new members Zoey, Myra and Loreen. They would perform in the very first theater show. This caused many people to fall in love with the franchise again and the questions came on how the other original members would react if they were asked to return.

The following year, original members Luna, Phoebet, Yasmin, Fianna, Lynn, Jade and Amber all returned with new members Lindsay and Cloe and the six of the Partners in Crime theater show. The mix of new and old members made the franchise wild and the second theater show was a huge success.

Because of this success, the BIT group returned for one big movie. Loreen decided to not continue for private reasons while Samantha was added to the cast as the antagonist, Sedam's, daughter to help BIT to save the world. This movie was the biggest on that time.

In 2015, certain members decided to not return for the fourteenth installment. Meghan, Phoebet, Samantha, Sascha, Fianna, Roxxyt, Lynn, Zoey, Cloe and Myra continued their journey in the BIT franchise and starred in the movie BIT: Star Power, which rated average.

The following year, 2016, to celebrate almost 15 years of BIT, the whole cast (except for Daphne and Loreen) returned for the biggest movie made so far, called BIT: The Big Adventure. It was the first movie worldwide to provide an live-touch experience, with the benches moving as the movie contained anti-gravity. This was the best movie selled ever, next to Moon Kingdom.

After this big movie, cast members Luna, Jade, Amber, Yasmin, Lindsay and Samantha decided to leave the group for good and decided to focus on their real lives. Fan-favorite Luna was named as the best Supporting Actress in a franchise and received the award for it after she left the group, which resulted in many fans getting devastated.

Because of the big success, BIT managed to premiere another movie in the same year, in December 2016. This was the last movie of Meghan, Phoebet, Lynn, Cloe and Angelina as they all decided to leave the group for different reasons. Most notable was Phoebet, who comitted suicide shortly after the movie went into premiere. Due to this, Meghan stated she would never play in any BIT movie ever again. Lynn, Cloe and Angelina all left the group to focus on their own lives.

In 2018, BIT got revived once again. Because the group only consisted of Sascha, Roxxyt, Fianna, Zoey and Myra, new members had to be found to fill up the empty spots. After one year of auditions, held by production and the current five members, ten new roles were created and cast. Olivia, Toby, Romeo, Giselle, Violet, Tanisha, Pam, Seamus, Danny and Chris got added and starred in the new movie; BIT: Odyssey, which had former members Luna and Yasmin playing an guest role to celebrate the popularity of BIT again.

In 2022, to celebrate 20 years of BIT, majority of the original cast joined the current cast to combine their powers in the reunion movie BIT: All-Stars!, where the returning characters played cameos and supporting roles and didn't join the group again as they only served for a return. After this movie, group-members Myra Hesseling and Romeo Darling left the group after being part of it for 13- and 5 years respectively.

That following year, in 2023, the last three remaining members of the group; Sascha, Roxxyt and Fianna, alongside long-term groupmember Zoey, announced they would leave the group permanently. A big television show was announced, that being *Looking For BIT*, where people could sign themselves up, providing a bit singing, dancing and acting. During this show, spread out over audition-, bootcamp-, and liveshow episodes, Sascha, Roxxyt, Fianna and Zoey would look for their four successors, getting help from professionals and eventually the public. With the four members chosen, the final movie BIT: Wonder Adventure would center around these eight by saying goodbye to the OGs and welcoming the new four groupmembers.
