\"Bridget-Jones-Diary\"
Bridget Jones first debuted in 2001. Now, twenty years later, the iconic character returns for a final chapter with\u00a0Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,<\/span><\/em> launching into Australian theatres in 2025.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019ve followed Bridget Jones along for two decades in her pursuit to find \u201ca nice sensible boyfriend and stop forming romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional f******, or perverts\u201d, as she candidly told us in the original 2001 romantic comedy. Now, the bumbling yet altogether beloved Brit returns to the screen just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day with the highly-anticipated fourth instalment, <\/span>Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

As always, Ren\u00e9e Zellweger stars as the perennially single titular lead, with the diarist once again unlucky in love following the death of her very own Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth). After becoming a single mother raising two children alone in London, Bridget\u2019s dating life ceases to exist<\/a>. (As Hugh Grant\u2019s Daniel tells her: \u201cYou\u2019re effectively a nun. A very, very naughty nun\u201d.) <\/span><\/p>\n

While she tries her hand at Tinder, Bridget eventually finds herself enamoured with two very unlikely and extremely different suitors. There\u2019s her kids\u2019 school teacher Mr. Wallaker (Chiwetel Ejiofor), which might prove to complicate things in the classroom, and the twenty-something \u201ctree adonis\u201d Roxster, played by the bona fide internet boyfriend Leo Woodall (<\/span>The White Lotus, One Day.) <\/span><\/i>At the encouragement of her friends, Bridget tries her best to \u201cget laid\u201d while navigating newfound relationships, grief and the perils of modern romance<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The film also sees Grant reprise his role as Bridget\u2019s former boss and lover, though it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll be privy to iconic chat room exchanges like their repartee over an \u201coff sick\u201d mini skirt. Australia\u2019s Isla Fisher also makes an appearance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy <\/span><\/i>will launch in Australian theatres on February 13. For our US readers, the film <\/span>will skip a theatrical release and launch straight onto streaming platform Peacock on February 14, 2025. The perfect Valentine\u2019s Day treat, if we say so ourselves. Pencil in a note in your diary, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the trailer, ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n
