It all starts when she runs away from the altar in a church in Hamburg. Easygoing Henny Schönberg has qualms about marrying in the very last second and runs off to leave her stunned would-be husband Martin von Platt. Still dressed in her wedding gown, she takes the next best flight, not caring about its destination.

The comedy “Ein fast perfekter Seitensprung” was not only successful, it was really well-done. The first sequel is, as most sequels, less attractive. As the charming mix of Germans and Austrians itself wasn't new and interesting any more, Schwabenitzky had to concentrate more on the less terrific elements. He emphasised the character-clichés and made up a more complex story, in order to bring down as many of the characters from the first film as possible. This sequel is only worth watching if you're a great fan of the first part. Actually, not even then.

After Henny's father loses his job at her ex-fiancee's shipyard because of Henny's affair with Sigi, he begins to panic about how to make a living and tries to find new quarters. His sister, Henny's aunt Marlene, suffers as a result of his chaotic efforts. The path to his new life requires that Henny get married, as the aunt is a strict puritan. But whoever knows Henny can be sure that things will take a few unexpected turns...

Dans l’épisode La dernière enquête de Stocki de Rex chien flic, l’inspecteur de police criminelle Ernst Stockinger, incarné par Karl Markovics, part pour Salzbourg afin d’y exercer un poste similaire. Il a demandé sa mutation pour raisons familiales, en effet, sa femme souhaite y reprendre le cabinet dentaire de son défunt père. Dans ses nouveaux locaux, il a pour collègue Antonella Simoni, incarnée par Sandra Cervik. Contrairement à Vienne auprès de son impulsif supérieur Richard Moser, incarné Tobias Moretti, il devra plus souvent rendre des comptes à la haute direction, le Dr Brunner, incarné par Hans Peter Heinzl . Stockinger circule dans sa toute petite voiture blanche et, malgré le changement de décor, a gardé tous ses traits de caractère et sa peur des chiens (voir épisode Der Tote im Narzissenfeld). Sa première enquête à Salzbourg, qui a lieu en pleine saison du Festival de Salzbourg, consistera à résoudre le meurtre d’un chocolatier.

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.
