Season Nine
The ninth (11th in some territories) season returned to air in 2008.
The new season sees Rex moved from Vienna to Rome and teamed up with an Italian detective. Kaspar Capparoni stars as Chief Inspector Lorenzo Fabbri, a homicide detective from Rome. He visits the Mordkommission office in Vienna, to discuss a cross-border murder case. He meets Kunz (the only character remaining from the previous series) and Rex, now officially retired but still allowed the run of the office, albeit with some reluctance from police administration. Rex and Fabbri develop a bond and he decides to unofficially take Rex with him when he returns to Rome.
Predictably, Rex assists Fabbri in solving several murders, and after some good publicity in the press, his Superintendent allows Rex to officially join the team.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“How many things by season seasoned are
To their right praise and true perfection!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
