In Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, Bridget Jones is a single mother of two, grappling with the death of her husband and deciding whether to reenter the dating world. The film is based on Helen Fielding's 2013 novel of the same name. In 2022, the author disclosed that she was working on a script adaptation of the book. She told Radio Times, "Yes I'm working on it and I really hope it will happen. Every film that gets made is a miracle – it's really difficult to make films happen and to make them good. But I'd love to see it on the screen."
According to a Variety report, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy will be released in theatres worldwide and on Peacock in America on Valentine's Day 2025. The report also mentioned that Emma Thompson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Leo Woodall will also be seen in the Michael Morris directorial.
