The year was 2001—and it was a great year for moviegoers! The first Bridget Jones movie premiered, introducing us to the charming, funny character we now all know and love.
But this year might just be an even better one, because Deadline recently announced that a fourth addition to the Bridget Jones movie series was given the green light, titled Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
Oh, and if you don't already have a seat, you're going to want to find one—because it was also reported that Renée Zellweger, Emma Thompson, and Hugh Grant would be reprising their roles. (Yes, that's the same Hugh Grant from Ree Drummond's list of celebrity crushes!)
Okay, now it's time to catch your breath and check your pulse. You don't want to faint after all! Then, read on for everything you need to know about Bridget Jones 4, including the premiere date and what it will be about.
What will Bridget Jones 4 be about?
Rom-com fans know that the Bridget Jones movies were adapted from the novels written by Helen Fielding (as well as a column she had composed for The Independent).
The first movie, Bridget Jones Diary, follows a young woman of the same name (played by Zellweger), and her rather peculiar love life... or initial lack-thereof. Whether the universe had suddenly taken her side or not is a mystery, but Bridget abruptly began to analyze not one, but two relationships forming in her life: one with Daniel Cleaver (played by Grant) and the other with Mark Darcy (played by Colin Firth).
Two more films were released since then: Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) and Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016).
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy will follow the third book in Fielding's series, which sees Bridget as a woman and mother in her fifties, balancing all of the contemporary ways of life in this modern world.
Who's in the cast?
Along with Renée Zellweger who plays Bridget Jones, Emma Thompson as Dr Rawlings, and Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver, the returning cast members will also welcome come newcomers, Chiwetel Ejiofor, (famous for his roles in 12 Years a Slave and Rob Peace) and Leo Woodall, who most recently starred in the hit Netflix series, One Day.
When will Bridget Jones 4 be released?
Reports from Deadline indicate that you might have to wait a bit for the official release. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is said to premiere on February 14, 2025 on Peacock for those in the United States.
