Die Chefin is a German crime drama, starring Katharina Böhm as First Police Chief Inspector Vera Lanz, a Munich police detective who is shown in balancing her professional and private life. The show premiered on 24 February 2012 on ZDF.
Vera Lanz is the First Police Chief Inspector of the Homicide division in Munich. After the mysterious death of her husband, a fellow Inspector, Vera raises her daughter Zoe alone. Successful in her professional life, Vera struggles personal as she's having an affair with the married State's attorney. Her co-worker, Police Chief Inspector Paul Böhmer, is the former partner of her late husband, which provides tension between the investigators. In the first episode, Jan Trompeter completes Vera's team.
First Police Chief Inspector Vera Lanz (Katharina Böhm) is working for the homicide division in Munich, having lost her husband in a mysterious death. She's a strong and respected woman in her professional life, while struggling in her personal life. Vera is having an affair with the State's attorney and has to be lectured by her daughter Zoe that he's a married man.
Police Chief Inspector Paul Böhmer (Jürgen Tonkel) is the former partner of Vera's husband. Even though he seems very loyal and even protective of Vera, there seems to be a lot of tension between them. As Paul hints that Vera's husband was a poor husband and Inspector, Vera slaps him.
Police Inspector Jan Trompeter (Stefan Rudolf) is the new colleague of Vera and Paul, who's very good as his job and seems to have caught the eye of his boss.
Medical Examiner Heike Steinbeck (Nicole Marischka) is working in the coroner's office and a friend of Vera.
State Attorney Marc Berger (Stephan Kampwirth) is involved in Vera's professional and private life. Even though he's married, Marc has an affair with Vera.
Zoe Lanz (Olga von Luckwald) is Vera's teenage daughter, who's about to finish school and plans to move in together with her boyfriend.
Georg Lanz (Hermann Beyer) is the father of Vera's late husband and is still investigating his son's mysterious death.
The filming for the first season, for which the ZDF network ordered four episodes, started on 31 May 2011 and wrapped up on 8 August 2011. Intentionally planned for Saturday nights, Die Chefin became part of the network's famous Friday nights line-up, which provides many crime dramas like Der Alte or Ein Fall für zwei. Die Chefin is the first Friday night crime drama that revolves around a female investigator.
