Bridget Jones is heading back to the big screen in 2025 with ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' and the official trailer has been released.
Renée Zellweger reprises her role as Bridget, the romantic-comedy heroine for the ages. In ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' Bridget is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark was killed on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan. She’s now a single mother to 9-year-old Billy and 4-year-old Mabel, and is stuck in a state of emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her loyal friends and even her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).
Pressured by her Urban Family – Shazzer, Jude and Tom, her work colleague Miranda, her mother, and her gynecologist Dr. Rawlings (Emma Thompson) – to forge a new path toward life and love, Bridget goes back to work and even tries out the dating apps, where she’s soon pursued by a dreamy and enthusiastic younger man (Leo Woodall).
Now juggling work, home and romance, Bridget grapples with the judgment of the perfect mums at school, worries about Billy as he struggles with the absence of his father, and engages in a series of awkward interactions with her son’s rational-to-a-fault science teacher (Chiwetel Ejiofor).
‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Michael Morris (‘To Leslie', ‘Better Call Saul'), from a screenplay by BAFTA nominee Helen Fielding, based on her novel, with contributions from Emmy winner Abi Morgan (‘The Iron Lady', ‘Eric)' and Oscar nominee Dan Mazer (‘I Give it A Year', ‘Bridget Jones’s Baby').
‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' will open in cinemas on 14th February 2025.
