Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (UK-FR-US)

Renée Zellweger (Judy, Cold Mountain) has her fourth outing as Bridget Jones in this new romantic comedy-drama film. When we last saw Bridget in Bridget Jones’s Baby, she was swimming in happiness, having given birth to a baby boy and married her love, top lawyer Mark Darcy (Oscar® winner Colin Firth, The King’s Speech), her son’s father. But, alas, a happily every after was not to be for them.

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 9-year-old Billy and 4-year-old Mabel, and stuck in a state of emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her loyal friends and even her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant, Four Weddings and a Funeral).

Pressured by her Urban Family — Shazzer (Sally Phillips, Bridget Jones’s Diary), Jude (Shirley Henderson, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason), and Tom (James Callis, Bridget Jones’s Baby); her work colleague, Miranda (Sarah Solemani, The Five); her mother (Gemma Jones, Sense and Sensibility); and her gynecologist, Dr. Rawlings (Emma Thompson, The Remains of the Day) — to forge a new path toward life and love, Bridget goes back to work and even tries out the dating apps, and she’s soon pursued by a dreamy and enthusiastic younger man (Leo Woodall, One Day, The 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 (Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave, The Man Who Fell to Earth).

The cast also includes Jim Broadbent (Iris), who returns as Bridget’s dad, and Isla Fisher (Now You See Me, The Great Gatsby), who plays a new character, Rebecca, Bridget’s neighbor.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, a Peacock Original Film, has its US post-theatrical premiere exclusively on Peacock on February 13, the day after the film gets released in cinemas internationally by Universal Pictures.

This thriller tells the chilling true story of Robert Freegard (James Norton, Happy Valley, Joy), a master manipulator and conman who kidnapped countless victims by convincing them he was an undercover MI5 operative. It’s a tale of lies, loyalty, gaslighting, fear, and hope, and the investigation into and high-stakes manhunt for Freegard, which saved the life of his final victim, Alice Archer (Gemma Arterton, Funny Woman), who fell for him and ultimately brought him down. Rogue Agent begins streaming Wednesday, February 12.
