Well, hello there, lovelies. Looks like Bridget’s back, bless her. Twenty-three years, can you believe it? The woman ages slower than a bottle of Bollinger left in the fridge – which, let’s be honest, is probably her preferred tipple.
(pause, stares directly at the camera with wide, bewildered eyes, like Atkinson)
"Mad About the Boy," eh?
Who’d have thought it? I mean, the last time we saw her, she was finally getting her act together with Darcy. Now he’s pushing up daisies and she’s sniffing around a bloke who could be her son. Typical Bridget, really. Jumping from the frying pan… into a slightly more attractive frying pan.
(pause, shrugs shoulders with a sigh, like Gervais)
Still, at least we’ve got Leo Woodall from "White Lotus," eh? Good-looking chap, can’t deny it. Might make watching her gaffe her way through life a bit more bearable. And, of course, we’ve got the old reliables: Shazzer, Jude, Tom, even the ever-suffering doctor. It wouldn’t be Bridget without them, would it?
(pauses, canvas face transforming into a manic grin, like Evans)
And the tears, they say! Oh God, the tears! Can’t have Bridget without a good sob-fest, can we? Maybe this time we’ll finally see her fully embrace her inner Bridget and just accept that life’s a messy, complicated, and frankly hilarious shambles. A bit like us, eh?
(leans forward conspiratorially)
But don’t worry, plenty of the old slapstick to keep us laughing. Bridget tripping over her own feet, spilling wine on herself, making inappropriate jokes at the worst possible moments… I mean, it’s a classic formula, isn’t it?
Valentine’s Day release. How romantic. Or maybe just a marketing ploy to get all the lonely hearts weeping into their popcorn. Either way, I’ll be there, front row, ready to laugh… and maybe cry a little bit… at the glorious disaster that is Bridget Jones.
(bows deeply, then wanders offstage muttering to himself)
"Mad About the Boy"? More like mad about all the bloody money this film’s going to rake in…
When the Bazaar team heard at the beginning of this year that there was a fourth Bridget Jonesfilm was in the making, we couldn’t believe our luck. After 23 years, Renée Zellweger returns to the role of Jones, and that can only mean laughing, screeching and roaring. Although after watching the new trailer we also know that there will be tears. The trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is finally here. We’ll tell you all about it.
Also read: The trailer of ‘The White Lotus’ 3 is here and now we can’t wait anymore.
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy
The recordings of Bridget Jones 4 started in May. In addition to Zellweger, Hugh Grant returns as Daniel Cleaver, as do Sarah Solemani as Miranda and Jim Broadbent as Bridget’s father – just to name a few. We also welcome a number of new faces, such as none other than Leo Woodall (!), known from the hit series The White Lotus in One Day.
Bridget Jones 4 trailer
In the trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy we see how Bridget is now a single mother in her fifties. Her great love, Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, has passed away, but his memories remain vivid. This is how we hear his voice during the trailer. Four years after his death, Bridget opens up to love again. But whether with the school teacher Mr. Wallaker, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, or with the 29-year-old Roxster, played by Leo Woodall, is still unclear. We also see familiar faces, such as friends Shazzer, Jude and Tom, and Bridget’s doctor Dr. Rawlings, played by Emma Thompson. The romcom can be seen in Dutch cinemas from February 14. Until then, we can daydream about the images below.

How does the film balance the comedic elements that are synonymous with Bridget Jones with the potentially heavier themes of grief and finding love again?
## Interview with a Bridget Jones Expert
**Interviewer:** Well, the news is out! Bridget Jones is back and she’s “Mad About the Boy!” [1](https://deadline.com/video/bridget-jones-mad-about-the-boy-trailer-renee-zellweger-leo-woodall-peacock/) What are your thoughts on this latest installment in the Bridget Jones saga?
**Guest:** (leans forward conspiratorially, eyes twinkling) Oh, darling, where do I even begin? It’s been 23 years since we last saw our beloved Bridget, and she’s back with a vengeance! Of course, time seems to stand still for our Bridget – she probably still keeps a bottle of Bollinger chilled in the fridge, bless her!
But things have changed, haven’t they? Poor Darcy is gone – pushing up daisies, as they say – and Bridget’s found herself a new love interest. Now, this chap is a bit younger, a bit… dare I say… “boyish,” eh? Typical Bridget, jumping from one frying pan into another, but slightly more aesthetically pleasing this time!
**Interviewer:** You mentioned a younger love interest. Tell us more!
**Guest:** Well, we’ve got the dashing Leo Woodall from “White Lotus.” A heartthrob for sure, which might just make all those Bridget-isms a bit more palatable, you know? And the old gang is back, thank goodness! Shazzer, Jude, Tom, even the ever-suffering doctor – you can’t have Bridget Jones without them.
**Interviewer:** What can our viewers expect from this new film?
**Guest:** Tears, darling, lots and lots of tears! [1](https://deadline.com/video/bridget-jones-mad-about-the-boy-trailer-renee-zellweger-leo-woodall-peacock/) This time, they’re really going for the emotional depths. But don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of classic Bridget slapstick to keep us laughing – tripping over things, spilling wine, making those hilariously inappropriate jokes at the worst possible moments. Bridget is the queen of the messy, complicated, hilarious shambles that is life!
And the Valentine’s Day release? Well, that’s either incredibly romantic or a marketing ploy for crying into your popcorn. Either way, I’ll be there, front row, ready to laugh, cry, and embrace the glorious disaster that is Bridget Jones.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us!
**Guest:** Anytime, darling. Just remember, it’s all a bit mad about the boy, isn’t it? But isn’t that all part of the fun?
