Bridget Jones returns to the big screen. Nine years after the last sequel "Bridget Jones' Baby" (2016), "Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy" starring Renée Zellweger (54) in her popular hit role is set to hit cinemas in February 2025. The production company Working Title Films has now announced this on Instagram. 

Zellweger will be joined by former co-stars Hugh Grant (63) and Emma Thompson (64), with Chiwetel Ejiofor (46) and Leo Woodall (27) joining the cast. British director Michael Morris ("To Leslie") is on board.

Bridget Jones conquered hearts
The romantic comedy about the frustrated single woman Bridget Jones was an instant box office success in 2001 with "Chocolate for Breakfast". The film was based on the book of the same name by British author Helen Fielding.

With "Bridget Jones - On the Edge of Madness", a second movie about the turbulent life of the chubby anti-heroine followed in 2004. In it, Bridget was once again caught between the two men Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). Twelve years later, "Bridget Jones' Baby" part 3 was released in cinemas. Patrick Dempsey ("Grey's Anatomy") played in this sequel.

Widow Bridget is "crazy about him"
With "Mad About The Boy", Fielding published another novel in 2014. In it, Bridget Jones is now 51, the mother of two children and a widow.

Zellweger recently enjoyed great success with the drama "Judy", in which she played the legendary show icon Judy Garland (1922-1969). The performance earned the Texan the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 2020. She won her first Oscar in 2004 for her supporting role in the Civil War drama "On the Road to Cold Mountain".
