The long-awaited official trailer for “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” is out. Based on Helen Fielding’s best-selling “Bridget Jones’s Diary”, this rom-com series has charmed audiences since 2001. The upcoming fourth movie sees Renée Zellweger reprise her role as the beloved Bridget Jones.
Peacock has released the new trailer, setting the scene four years after Bridget’s husband Mark’s tragic death on a humanitarian mission in Sudan. Now a single mother of two, Bridget is trying to find her way back into the dating world while juggling work and parenting. The trailer teases potential love interests and a reconnection with her old flame, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).
What does this mean for the fourth installment? Well, the trailer confirms that Colin Firth’s Mark is out of the picture, off-screen. His absence paves the way for the story that’s set to premiere on Peacock on February 13, 2025. The film will not only focus on Bridget’s love life but also explore aspects like her age, the challenges of single motherhood in modern society, and the role of her friends as support.
Our take on this new Bridget Jones movie is that it has a lot to offer. The trailer has got fans excited for the 2025 release, though it might have given away a bit too much. Bridget is back to square one in dating, sort of, but with added responsibilities. It’ll explore important topics.
However, some fans are disappointed about Mark’s absence. It’s a shame he won’t be in the film, but without his off-screen death, this particular story wouldn’t unfold. Bridget’s reunion with Daniel Cleaver is something to look forward to, especially after her experiences with other less suitable guys.
