The fourth installment of the Bridge Jones saga is officially on the way.
Peacock has announced that the film will premiere exclusively on Thursday, February 13, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Renée Zellweger is back as Bridget, and yes, she’s still navigating the ups and downs of life, love, and heartbreak.
The story picks up four years after a devastating loss: Mark Darcy (played by Colin Firth) was tragically killed while on a humanitarian mission in Sudan. Now widowed, Bridget is raising her two children—9-year-old Billy and 4-year-old Mabel—while feeling stuck in emotional limbo. As always, she has her loyal “Urban Family” to lean on, including Shazzer, Jude, and Tom, as well as her supportive co-worker Miranda, her mother, and Dr. Rawlings (Emma Thompson, reprising her role as Bridget’s no-nonsense gynecologist).
But life wouldn’t be Bridget’s if there weren’t a few twists. Pressured to get back out there, Bridget dusts off her dating shoes (and swipes right on a few dating apps). Enter a younger, enthusiastic love interest who brings a mix of excitement and chaos to her world. Joining the stellar cast for this final chapter are Isla Fisher, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Leo Woodall.
The story/franchise of Bridge Jones began in 2001. Over two decades later, Bridget remains one of the most relatable and lovable characters in romantic comedy history. From her diary entries to her awkward but endearing escapades, we’ve all been rooting for her happiness since day one.
