Set in Zagreb and loosely based on the premise of Friends, the series stars an ensemble cast that portrays five young adult friends living in two neighboring apartments: Robi (Rene Bitorajac), Kazo (Hrvoje Kečkeš), and Teo (Tarik Filipović) live opposite of Irena (Mila Elegović) and Lucija (Nataša Dangubić).
Recurring characters include Gazda (Predrag Vušović), Armando (Dražen Čuček), and Saša (Mile Kekin).
The issues arise when Irena Grobnik also attempts to move in the same apartment and share rent expenses with Lucija Toč, a girl she also just met at the video rental shop.
According to Kulenović, the creator of the series, Bitange i princeze was originally intended to be filmed in front of a live audience, but the budget did not allow it.
[11] Mila Elegović, who pursued a musical career after the series, recorded her first song for her character Irena Grobnik for an episode from the second season.
