It’s been eight years since Bridget Jones’ Baby hit cinemas, the third film in the rom-com series.
Hugh Grant’s Daniel Cleaver didn’t return for the threequel with Colin Firth’s Mark Darcy and Renée Zellweger’s titular character, having been presumed dead after a plane crash.
By the end of the movie Bridget and Mark had had a baby boy and were married before a newspaper headline revealed that Cleaver has been found alive.
Now Bridget Jones 4 has been green lit, adapting the third novel in Helen Fielding’s series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
The 2013 novel opens with Bridget as a widowed mother of two, following the death of Firth’s Darcy, hence he’s not in the cast of the new movie.
Instead, Grant’s Cleaver is returning for the fourth movie, having missed out on the third, alongside Emma Thompson, who played Bridget’s obstetrician in Bridget Jones’ Baby.
Joining the new cast are Chiwetel Ejiofor and One Day’s Leo Woodall, who is rumoured to be playing the 54-year-old Bridget’s 27-year-old toy boy, as she returns to dating after her husband’s death.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy shoots in London this summer for a Valentine’s Day 2025 release.
