Rom-com lovers of the world, rejoice! *Bridget Jones* is officially heading back to our screens!

Universal Pictures and Working Title have confirmed the fourth instalment of the beloved film, titled *Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy,* is in the works. Here's everything we know so far:

##### Who will star in *Bridget Jones 4?*

**Renée Zellweger** will reprise her role as the quirky and loveable Bridget Jones - I mean, could we really have a Bridget film without her? *Exactly.*

**Hugh Grant** will return as the slimey Daniel Cleaver and **Emma Thompson** will return as stern Doctor Rawlings.

According to Working Title, there will be some new faces too including *The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind's* **Chiwetel Ejiofor** and *One Day* and *The White Lotus* star **Leo Woodall,** though their characters are still being kept under wraps.

But what about **Colin Firth,** you might be wondering? There is no mention of Colin returning for this film. I repeat, no Colin. But it seems there's a very good reason why....

##### What will *Bridget Jones 4* be about?

The film will be based on the 2013 novel by Helen Fielding, *Bridget Jones:* *Mad About the Boy,* which follows the story of a newly widowed Bridget (yes, Mr Darcy is gone!) who is trying to re-establish herself in the dating scene as a woman in her \*gasp\* 50s. Through social media, she begins a flirtatious relationship with a much younger man, and well, hilarity ensues. It's not clear how closely the film will follow the book though.

The original film, *Bridget Jones' Diary* which came out in 2001,was about Bridget's dating and love life in her 30s. That also starred Colin Firth. And then the second and third films, *Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason* and *Bridget Jones' Baby,* kept Bridget's story going, because *yes, of course* we all wanted to know *what happened next!*

##### 

##### When will *Bridget Jones 4* be released?

*Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy* will be released in cinemas on Valentine's Day, 2025.
