Ever since the lovable (and perfectly normal-size) Bridget Jones hit the silver screen, fans have been clamoring to see the further adventures of the plucky heroine, played by Renée Zellweger.
Following the success of 2001’s Bridget Jones’s Diary (which, fun fact, is based on Pride & Prejudice), Zellweger starred in two sequels, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) and Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016).
Now a fourth movie is on its way. Here's everything to know.
We have a trailer!
Perfectly madcap, with lots of British-isms and girl power moments.
The trailer also reveals that this will be the last chapter in the Jones saga. Say it ain't so!
What’s it about?
On April 9, 2024, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the film is titled Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, and confirmed that the story will follow author Helen Fielding's novel series, which finds Bridget joining Tinder after the death of her husband. Per the outlet, the film will also include “hot sex with a 30-year-old man,” so there's that!
Which actors are coming back?
Zellweger has been confirmed to return, as has Hugh Grant. Both Firth and Hugh Grant battled for Jones’s affections in the first two films, though Grant’s character was written off (presumed dead, later found alive, offscreen) and replaced by another man, played by Patrick Dempsey, in the third. From the trailer, it looks like Firth will be there for wordless flashbacks.
Emma Thompson, who appeared in the third film as Dr. Rawlings, is also slated to return.
