Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is hitting theatres on February 14, 2025. Directed by Michael Morris and based on Helen Fielding’s bestseller, the film sees Renée Zellweger return as Bridget alongside Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver and Colin Firth as the late Mark Darcy.
