“Die Chefin” is a successful German crime series that has been airing on ZDF since 2012.

At the heart of the series is Chief Inspector Vera Lanz (played by Katharina Böhm), who leads the homicide division in Munich. After the mysterious death of her husband—himself a police officer—Vera is left to raise their daughter Zoe on her own. Known for her unconventional methods, she often places justice above rigid legal procedures.

She is supported by Chief Inspector Paul Böhmer (Jürgen Tonkel) and Detective Jan Trompeter (Stefan Rudolf). The series skillfully blends gripping criminal investigations with Vera’s personal life, highlighting the challenges of balancing a demanding career with family and inner conflicts.

For episodes 94, 95, and 96 of the long-running ZDF series, Bendixen Media Service (BMS) was responsible for post-production editing.
With a keen sense for narrative pacing, tension, and visual coherence, BMS ensured that the complex and emotionally charged storylines around Vera Lanz were brought to the screen seamlessly and impactfully—maintaining the high standards and style of this award-winning series.
