Two-time Academy Award® winner RENÉE ZELLWEGER returns to the role that established a romantic-comedy heroine for the ages, a woman whose inimitable approach to life and love redefined an entire film genre.

Bridget Jones first exploded onto bookshelves in HELEN FIELDING’s literary phenomenon Bridget Jones’s Diary, which became a global bestseller and a blockbuster film. As a single career woman living in London, Bridget Jones not only introduced the world to her romantic adventures, but added “Singletons,” “Smug Marrieds” and “f---wittage” into the global lexicon. Bridget’s ability to triumph despite adversity led her to finally marry top lawyer Mark Darcy (Academy Award® winner COLIN FIRTH) and to become the mother of their baby boy. Happiness at last.

But in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Bridget is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark was killed on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan. She’s now a single mother to 10-year-old Billy (CASPER KNOPF, Halo) and 6-year-old Mabel (newcomer MILA JANKOVIC), and is stuck in a state of emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her loyal friends, including her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (HUGH GRANT).

Pressured by her Urban Family —Shazzer (SALLY PHILLIPS; Smack the Pony, Veep, Love at First Sight), Jude (SHIRLEY HENDERSON; See How they Run, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Mandalorian) and Tom (JAMES CALLIS, Slow Horses, Blood & Treasure, Castlevania), her work colleague Miranda (SARAH SOLEMANI; Barry, Bad Education, Chivalry), her former editor Richard Finch (NEIL PEARSON; Silent Witness, Waterloo Road, In the Club) and her gynecologist Dr. Rawlings (Oscar® winner 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 (LEO WOODALL; One Day, White Lotus).

Now juggling work, home and romance, Bridget grapples with the judgment of the perfect mums at school, worries about Billy as he struggles with the absence of his father, and engages in a series of awkward interactions with her son’s rational-to-a-fault science teacher (Oscar® nominee CHIWETEL EJIOFOR; 12 Years a Slave, Children of Men).

The returning cast includes Oscar® winner JIM BROADBENT (Paddington films, Iris) and BAFTA winner GEMMA JONES (Wicked Little Letters, Sense & Sensibility) as Bridget’s parents.

New cast members include LEILA FARZAD (The Marvels, I Hate Suzie, The Decameron) as Perfect Nicolette, a mother at Bridget’s children’s school; JOSETTE SIMON (Wonder Woman, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, The Crow) as Bridget’s new colleague Talitha; and NICO PARKER (The Last of Us, Dumbo, upcoming How to Train Your Dragon) as Bridget’s nanny, Chloe.

Based on the novel by HELEN FIELDING, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is directed by acclaimed filmmaker MICHAEL MORRIS (To Leslie, Better Call Saul), from a screenplay by BAFTA nominee HELEN FIELDING and Oscar® nominee DAN MAZER (I Give It a Year, Bridget Jones’s Baby) and Emmy winner ABI MORGAN (The Iron Lady, Eric).
