Watch the trailer to the next Bridget Jones film, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy

Working Title has shared a preview trailer of the next instalment in the Bridget Jones series, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. 

Bridget Jones first appeared in Helen Fielding’s novel Bridget Jones’s Diary, which became a global bestseller and later a smash hit film.

As a single professional based in London, Bridget introduced the world to the ups and downs of her romantic adventures and professional misfires, with plenty of laughs and tears along the way. This bumpy path leads to Bridget to happiness with lawyer Mark Darcy and eventually becoming a mother. 

What is this film about?

Here is a synopsis: 

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 lone parent to 9-year-old Billy and 4-year-old Mabel, and is trapped in an emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her friends and even her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).

Pressured by her old friends—Shazzer, Jude and Tom, her workmate Miranda, her mother, and her gynecologist Dr. Rawlings ( Emma Thompson) — to try to move on with her life, Bridget goes back to the world of work and even tries dating, where she’s soon pursued by a dreamy and enthusiastic younger man (White Lotus’s Leo Woodall). Now grappling with work, home and a love life, Bridget has to contend with the judgement of the super mums at school, concerns about Billy as he struggles without his Dad, and stumbles into a series of awkward interactions with her son’s science teacher ( Chiwetel Ejiofor)….
