Category: Television and Streaming

Peacock continues the Bridget Jones franchise with a new original film.  Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy now streams on Peacock with Renée Zellweger returning as Bridget, Hugh Grant returns as Daniel Cleaver, and Colin Firth makes an appearance as his character of Mark Darcy.

Bridget first burst onto the scene in the 2001 movie Bridget Jones’s Diary. Audiences were enchanted by the way she kept her diary of life, food, weight, and love. Her life continued to entertain viewers in 2004 with Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason when she struggles with her relationship with Mark Darcy. Then in 2016 in Bridget Jones’s Baby, she discovers she is pregnant but is unsure of the father. Bridget and Darcy end up getting married.

So now, in this fourth film, Bridget must confront a whole new aspect of life – widowhood and being a single mother. Dating, work, children, it all adds up to confusion, frustration, and entertainment.

This made-for-Peacock movie is now available to stream at your convenience. Bridget Jones fans have their next story about this quirky yet at times lovable character.

The movie is rated R.
