Bridget Jones will soon return to the cinema! Eight years after the third installment of the Bridget Jones’s Child saga, and 24 years after Sharon Maguire’s first film, Helen Fielding’s beloved heroine will return to the cinema for Episode 4.
The first poster has been released, along with the release date. The iconic heroine will meet her fans on Valentine’s Day 2025.
Bridget Jones single again?
Several years in the making, Bridget Jones: Mad Boy takes place after the events of Bridget Jones’s Child. Let us remind you that in the third opus, the heroine becomes pregnant and marries the father of her child… Mark Darcy (Colin Firth).
Unlike the previous two, this part is not adapted from Helen Fielding’s novel, although it fits perfectly with the time of the saga, as in the third novel titled “Bridget Jones: Mad About Her”Heroine, 53 years old, is now a widow and a mother of 2 children. Therefore, the fourth film in the franchise should be inspired by the work.
The plot is as follows: Bridget Jones is fifty years old and after the death of her husband, she returns to the dating market.
Who will be in the cast of Bridget Jones 4?
Directed by Michael Morris, who replaces Sharon Maguire and Biban Kidron, the feature will of course see the return of Renee Zellweger, but also Emma Thompson, Shirley Henderson, Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones and Hugh Grant!
