Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant, and Emma Thompson are reuniting for a fourth Bridget Jones movie according to a recent report from Variety.
The trio will once again come together for Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the working title for an adaptation of Helen Fielding’s 2013 best-selling novel.
Oscar winner Zellweger will reprise her role as the beloved, hapless Bridget Jones, and Grant, who did not appear in the third film, will return as the often-charming Daniel Cleaver. Emma Thompson, who played Bridget’s doctor in the third film, also returns. Sadly, Colin Firth will not return as the adored Mr Darcy.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy picks up four years after the last film, with Bridget now a widow raising two small children after Mark Darcy is killed by a landmine in Sudan.
Directed by Michael Morris (To Leslie), the new movie will also see Chiwetel Ejiofor (Love, Actually) and Leo Woodall (The White Lotus, One Day) join the cast.
The three Bridget Jones films (2001’s Bridget Jones’s Diary, 2004’s Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and 2016’s Bridget Jones’s Baby) have been enormously successful, bringing in more than $800 million at the worldwide box office.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy will hit cinemas on Valentine’s Day 2025.
