Iconic Crime Series "Inspector Rex" Celebrates Comeback
Maximilian Brückner will be seen as the human investigator by his side, ORF announced on Tuesday. The production of the six feature-length episodes is being undertaken in collaboration with Sat.1.
Filming to Begin This Spring in Vienna
Filming for the movies is set to begin this spring in Vienna. Alongside Bavarian actor Brückner as Commissioner Max Steiner, Austrian Ferdinand Seebacher will also appear on camera. He will take on the role of Inspector Felix Burger. For Munich-born Brückner, the investigator's shoes are not new, as he has previously played "Tatort" Commissioner Franz Kappl and appeared as a patrol officer in the ORF co-production "Pregau" set in a fictional small town in Upper Styria.
"Kommissar Rex is coming home - to Vienna and ORF," said ORF Program Director Stefanie Groiss-Horowitz in a statement. Together with Sat.1 and MR-Film, they aim to "continue the success story," as the original series was sold to 125 countries. There were also spin-offs in Poland, Portugal, and Slovakia. In Canada, an English-language version titled "Hudson & Rex" was produced. "I am looking forward to exciting cases, lots of local color, and the best entertainment for our audience," said Groiss-Horowitz.
