Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is slated to make its debut on February 14, 2025, on Peacock in the U.S. and in theaters internationally. The project officially reunites franchise vets Renée Zellweger, Emma Thompson, and Hugh Grant as they reprise their respective roles as Bridget Jones, Dr. Rawling, and Daniel Cleaver.
They will be joined by new cast members Chiwetel Ejiofor (The Old Guard) as Mr. Wallaker, Leo Woodall (One Day) as Roxster, Isla Fisher (Confessions of a Shopaholic) as Rebecca, Nico Parker (The Last of Us) as Chloe, and more.
“Bridget is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark (Colin Firth) 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 (White Lotus’s Leo Woodall),” reads the film’s synopsis.
The sequel is directed by Michael Morris from a screenplay written by Fielding. It is produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, and Jo Wallett, with Fielding, Amelia Granger, and Sarah-Jane Wright set as executive producers. The franchise, consisting of 2001’s Bridget Jones’ Diary, 2004’s Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, and 2016’s Bridget Jones’ Baby, has earned a combined worldwide gross of over $760 million at the worldwide box office.
