THE release date for the hotly anticipated fourth Bridget Jones movie has finally been revealed.
Long-term fans of the franchise were left ecstatic when it was revealed that actress Renee Zellweger would be getting back into character once more for a brand new movie titled Mad About The Boy.
Now with filming on the upcoming flick officially wrapped, fans have been left dying to know just when the movie will hit cinema screens.
The production company behind the Bridget Jones films, Working Title, have now issued an important update to loyal fans about when the film will release and it’s likely much sooner than you think.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – the company shared a poignant photo along with the all important information.
With a shot of a director’s chair reading “Bridget Jones” and Borough Market’s The Globe Tavern in the background, the filmmakers said: “That’s a wrap. See you on Valentine’s Day.”
The news of the film’s February 2025 release also appeared to confirm that Bridget’s iconic flat will once again be a staple of the movie.
The Globe Tavern is used as the exterior for Bridget’s home in the previous movies – essentially revealing that she is still very much living there.
The Sun previously revealed that the plot to the new movie would see Bridget enjoying a romance with a much younger man.
Renee will lock lips with Netflix heart-throb Leo Woodall who will play her love interest in the flick.
The fourth movie in the series will kick off with hapless Bridget navigating life as a single mum of two following the death of Colin Firth’s character Mark Darcy.
A source said: “Bridget is going to be a real cougar in the new film and she’ll be seen starting a relationship with a much younger character played by Leo.
“He was thrilled about landing the part and will have a major role as her love interest in Mad About The Boy.
“Bridget is a single mum trying to navigate a new world of social media and dating apps after Mark’s death, so she’s definitely going to end up in a pickle.
“Hugh Grant is back as Daniel Cleaver, so there will be a love triangle between Bridget’s older flame and this much younger new man.”
In Helen Fielding’s 1996 novel Bridget Jones’s Diary, the title character lists the type of boyfriend she does not want — but doesn’t mention anything about age.
The film version, released in 2001, made more than £222million at the box office.
