5 people, an empty bar. What begins as wild fun quickly turns into limitlessness, into excess and rampant addiction. From the beginning we are hooked, because the film is a single movement: up and down, into deep abysses and into the head. The bar becomes a place of longing and at the same time a prison for the characters performing. A perfect day becomes a perfect night.

A depressed entertainer wants to conquer the stages of the world. He has only one problem: no one knows him. His ambitious sister wants to change that. She organizes a film crew to record his glamorous rise, but instead deep abysses reveal themselves behind the facade.

Slaughterhouse owner Werner Haas has a ton of slaughter waste dumped on his front lawn in the middle of the night. Fuming mad, he files charges against unknown persons and foolishly sets something in motion that can’t be stopped.

La série s'articule autour de quatre commissaires principaux : le Commissaire Erwin Köster (Siegfried Lowitz, 1977-1985), le Commissaire Leo Kress (Rolf Schimpf, 1986-2007), le Commissaire Rolf Herzog (Walter Kreye, 2008-2012) et le Commissaire Richard Voss (Jan-Gregor Kremp, depuis 2012). L'audience de la série n'a jamais souffert de ces changements de distribution. Le Renard réunit régulièrement près de 6 millions de téléspectateurs. Elle a entamé son passage vers la modernité en optant pour la diffusion en 16/9, adoptant un rythme sensiblement plus soutenu, des décors de plus en plus modernes au gré des évolutions technologiques et proposant la VOD aux téléspectateurs allemands, à l'instar de tous les Krimi de la ZDF.
