Renée Zellweger is set to reprise her Oscar-nominated role as Bridget Jones in a fourth movie in the series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
The first film adaptation Bridget Jones’s Diary was released in 2001, with sequels Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Bridget Jones’s Baby following in 2004 and 2016.
The character of perpetual singleton Bridget Jones was created by Helen Fielding in a column for The Independent.
Fielding published the novelisation of her columns in 1996, followed by a sequel The Edge of Reason in 1999.
