Right, folks, gather round, because the news just dropped that’s more thrilling than a Tesco meal deal on a Tuesday: Bridget bloody Jones is making a bloody comeback!
(Looks intensely at camera, eyebrows raised)
Twenty-three years. Twenty-three bloody years since our girl Bridget graced the big screen, stumbling from one catastrophic romantic escapade to the next. And rumor has it, there’s less Chardonnay this time. Or maybe not. Who are we kidding?
So, apparently, Renée Zellweger‘s dusted off the granny pants and the big knickers, and she’s back. They’ve even roped in Hugh Grant again, bless him, probably for one last “charming rogue” act before he fully embraces being the distinguished elder statesman of British cinema.
(Leans in conspiratorially)
They say Colin Firth’s not back though. Tragic, isn’t it? Mark Darcy snuffed it, poor bloke. Probably choked on a piece of organic quinoa or something. Shrugs dramatically
But fear not, because Bridget’s got a new bloke on the scene, played by that bloke from… (Whispers) The White Lotus. Yeah, the one with the, ahem, exquisitely defined physique. (Eyes widen suggestively)
Apparently, there might be some tears involved, but knowing Bridget, those’ll be drowned in a gallon of white wine by the time the credits roll.
(Starts mimicking Bridget’s exasperated sigh)
Oh, Bridget. You’re a trainwreck, but we love ya!
(Straightens up, points at camera)
Right then, off I go to find a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and invent a reason to wear my leopard print onesie. See you at the cinema, you lovely lot.
(Winks cheekily and exits stage left)
When the Bazaar team heard at the beginning of this year that there was a fourth Bridget Jonesfilm was in the making, we couldn’t believe our luck. After 23 years, Renée Zellweger returns to the role of Jones, and that can only mean laughing, screeching and roaring. Although after watching the new trailer we also know that there will be tears. The trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is finally here. We’ll tell you all about it.

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy
The recordings of Bridget Jones 4 started in May. In addition to Zellweger, Hugh Grant returns as Daniel Cleaver, as do Sarah Solemani as Miranda and Jim Broadbent as Bridget’s father – just to name a few. We also welcome a number of new faces, such as none other than Leo Woodall (!), known from the hit series The White Lotus in One Day.
Bridget Jones 4 trailer
In the trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy we see how Bridget is now a single mother in her fifties. Her great love, Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, has passed away, but his memories remain vivid. This is how we hear his voice during the trailer. Four years after his death, Bridget opens up to love again. But whether with the school teacher Mr. Wallaker, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, or with the 29-year-old Roxster, played by Leo Woodall, is still unclear. We also see familiar faces, such as friends Shazzer, Jude and Tom, and Bridget’s doctor Dr. Rawlings, played by Emma Thompson. The romcom can be seen in Dutch cinemas from February 14. Until then, we can daydream about the images below.

Will the new love interest, portrayed by Leo Woodall, bring a different dynamic to Bridget’s relationships compared to Mark Darcy?
## Bridget Jones is Back!
**[HOST]:** Welcome back to the show! You know, sometimes news breaks that is bigger than a Tesco meal deal on a Tuesday, and today folks, that news is Bridget Jones is returning to the big screen! Joining me now is film critic, [GUEST NAME], to discuss this exciting news.
**[GUEST]:** Thanks for having me! As someone who has loved Bridget since the very first film, I’m absolutely thrilled. It feels like ages since we last saw her stumbling through life, Chardonnay in hand.
**[HOST]:** And boy, have we missed her! Twenty-three years! Can you believe it? What are your initial thoughts on Bridget’s comeback?
**[GUEST]:** Honestly, it’s a dream come true. We know Renée Zellweger is bringing her A-game, and she’s been consistently fantastic in the role. According to recent news reports, the film is based on the latest novel, “Mad About the Boy,” which sees Bridget finding herself as a mother in her fifties and unfortunately widowed following Mark Darcy’s passing. It’s certainly going to be a different Bridget than we’re used to, but I think that’s exactly what makes it so interesting. [[1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68776530)]
**[HOST]:** That’s right. The news has confirmed that Colin Firth isn’t returning, which is definitely sad. But, there’s always a new love interest in Bridget’s life!
**[GUEST]:** There sure is! And this time it’s Leo Woodall, who you may recognise from “The White Lotus.” I’ve got a feeling this will be a very different dynamic than what we saw with Darcy, and I’m eager to see how it unfolds.
**[HOST]:** Big shoes to fill, for sure! Do you think Bridget will finally find lasting happiness, or will we see her continue her hilariously messy journey?
**[GUEST]:** That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? Knowing Bridget, there’ll be tears, there’ll be laughter, and there’ll be endless glasses of wine. I have a feeling she won’t necessarily find a fairytale ending, but that’s part of her charm! She reminds us that life is messy, unpredictable, and ultimately, full of possibilities.
**[HOST]:** Well, I for one can’t wait to see what Bridget gets up to next. Thanks for joining us, [GUEST NAME], and don’t forget folks, keep those leopard print onesies ready!
