It’s been over two decades since the most chaotic and beloved love triangle first graced our screens. Following the success of the previous Bridget Jones films comes a fourth ー Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. The movie is in the works as filming reportedly began in London on May 9, 2024. Based on Helen Fielding’s novel of the same name, the fourth installment is set to follow Bridget Jones in her fifties as she begins a whole new chapter of her life.
The Bridget Jones franchise gave us a long list of lovable characters, from Renée Zellweger’s exceptional role as the queen of chaos, Bridget Jones, to Colin Firth’s run as Mark Darcy, the good guy who ultimately won Bridget’s heart. Then there’s Hugh Grant’s performance as charming bad boy Daniel Cleaver, and let’s not forget when Patrick Dempsey was thrown into the mix as Jack Quaint. With the fourth part in place, it will be exciting to see a whole new Bridget Jones come to life. Readers may already have an inkling of the exciting journey ahead, but what can we expect from the movie? Here’s everything you need to know about Bridget Jones’ 4.
Bridget Jones’ Diary 4 Release Date
It’s been almost 10 years since the release of the last film Bridget Jones’s Baby, so it’s only fair that we can’t wait to see Bridget Jones again in all her clumsy-lovable glory. With production already on track, Bridget Jones 4 is set for a Valentine’s Day release. The film is scheduled for a US release on February 14, 2025.
What Is Bridget Jones’ Diary 4 About?
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is based on Fielding’s book published in 2013. While the movie’s plot details remain under wraps, the story is set to follow Bridget Jones in her fifties as she navigates being a single mother of two after the death of her husband, Mark Darcy. With this storyline, there’s a huge shift in Bridget Jones’ life as she dips her toes in the world of online dating and a romance with a much younger guy.
The plot crumbs leave a lot of room for speculation, so it will be interesting to watch Bridget Jones be as chaotic as ever. However, this time, she’ll be an older single mother who will navigate the modernity of her life along with a possible new love triangle. The fourth installment of the Bridget Jones franchise will take cues from the original novel, but it’s still unclear how much of the plot will unfold. The bottom line is that Bridget will navigate being single in the age of social media and dating apps which is worth all the excitement.
The Returning and New Cast Members in Bridget Jones’ Diary 4
There would be no Bridget Jones without Zellweger. Luckily, it’s been confirmed that the famous actor will reprise her role as the iconic Bridget we all know and love. Another original cast member that has been confirmed is Grant who brought life to the role of Daniel Cleaver. Although he wasn’t present in the third Bridget Jones movie, the actor is set to make a comeback in Mad About The Boy with a lot of screen time.
Unfortunately for fans, it remains uncertain if Firth will be a part of the upcoming film. His role as Mark Darcy, an awkward-lovable lawyer remains a fan favorite to this day. However, it’s still not confirmed whether the actor will return for his role. Another star set to return is Emma Thompson who portrayed Dr. Rawling, Bridget’s unforgettable obstetrician in Bridget Jones’s Baby.
Among the new cast of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is Leo Woodall who is most known for his exceptional performance in Netflix’s One Day and The White Lotus Season 2. Woodall is set to play Bridget’s younger swoon-worthy love interest, and we cannot wait to see him in this new role. Chiwetel Ejiofor, known for his impeccable performance in the captivating Oscar-winning film 12 Years A Slave, will also join the outstanding cast. So far so good — the casting gives a promising look at what we can expect from Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Also check out this guide on 10 things you didn’t know about Rahne Jones.
