Everyone’s favourite European, crime-busting dog, Inspector Rex, is returning to screens in a new series, Rex in Rome.
Made four years after the last series, it is now an Austrian-Italian production. His new partner is Italian detective Lorenzo Fabbri (Kaspar Capparoni). The series will air in Australia in Italian with English subtitles, but is followed directly afterwards by a repeat of the German-language Inspector Rex.
A rather odd transition each week for fans…
It premieres at 7:30pm Thursday December 4th on SBS.
Rex in Rome: The Meeting – Brand new season Inspector Rex! Rex returns in a new series set in Italy, to help his new partner Inspector Fabbri solve murder cases.

I have just started watching Inspector Rex again after seeing the last Rex in Rome where he was shot. I have Mad Max who looks and acts just like him. It was too raw after he appeared to die. I was like watching a video of a recently deceased loved one (which Rex is). OMG – I’m too soft. I cry at RSPCA adds!
I was so upset Rex was shot and then the next week it’s back to the old Rex. Don’t keep us in suspense, please let Rex live. He is a legend or as my son would say “a unit”. We love him.

I would also like to know if Rex died – it was most upsetting…………If so, are we to assume there are no more new Rex episodes?
I watch Rex every night and was wondering if Rex actually died in last episode of Rex in Rome?
Is that the complete ending to the show tonight? Or just for the time being? I hope the show comes back soon.
An investigative series, animals, italy and beautiful people speaking in a wonderful language is most enjoyable to watch! Thank you.
