Who doesn’t love late 90s and early 20s rom-coms? One of the films that often make it to the list of the best romantic comedies of that era is the first installment of the Bridget Jones franchise: ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’.
Well, we’ve got good news for fans of the movie series! Two-time Oscar winner Renée Zellweger has officially reprised her role as the protagonist at the crux of the films! The fourth chapter of Bridget’s story will be titled ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy’ and will hit cinemas around Valentine’s Day 2025.
Not only Zellweger, others set to return for the film include director Michael Morris, industry veteran Hugh Grant, and Emma Thompson. Whereas new names joining the iconic franchise are Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall.
Ejiofor is a multi-award-winning British actor whose slate of films includes titles like ’12 Years A Slave’, ‘The Martian’, ‘2012’ and more. Woodall on the other hand is a relatively newer English actor, famous for his role in the second season of the HBO satire ‘The White Lotus’ and the Netflix romantic drama series ‘One Day’.
Based on the third book in Helen Fielding’s popular series, ‘Mad About the Boy’ will pick up with Bridget in her early fifties, as she navigates the challenges of modern life while juggling motherhood. While further updates are yet to roll out, don’t forget to tag along with Bridget for her journey!
