After the success of the novels, a film saga was released in 2001 Bridget Jones’s Diarythen the rest three years later The age of reasonand finally Bridget Jones, baby in 2016.

Each film explored Bridget’s romantic adventures, including her tumultuous relationship with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), the disruptive influence of Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), and the risks of motherhood in the last workwhere the crux of the plot revolves around the paternity of Bridget’s baby (and in which Hugh Grant does not appear).

Eight years after the release of Bridget Jones, babywe learn, through Expiration, that a fourth film is officially in development. This is the adaptation of the third novel of the saga, Crazy about himpublished in 2013.
