dailyrecord.co.uk:

Break out the big pants and the vodka shots because the lovelorn Bridget Jones is back on our screens from next February in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy.Renee Zellweger returns to her signature role as Bridget, who is now reconciling with personal tragedy and possible new suitors in her life.Jones is a widow, bereft after the death of her on-off partner turned husband Mark Darcy (Colin Firth).

With two children to bring up, she struggles to find her place in the world but realises it's time to get back out there. Two potential new suitors arrive in her life when she is least expecting it, the impetuous Roxster played by Leo Woodall from The White Lotus, and Chiwetel Ejiofor who starred in 12 Years a Slave as straight-laced teacher Mr Wallaker.Yes, as with Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004), and Bridget Jones's Baby (2016), the new movie is based on a book by author Helen Fielding.

However, the fourth film in the series is based on Fielding's third book, published in 2013. Fielding contributed to the screenplay along with Borat's Dan Mazer and Suffragette's Abi Morgan.The trailer shows that Colin Firth does appear in a poignant context, designed to emphasise Bridget's loneliness as a mother bringing up two young children.

Bridget and Mark had a love-hate animosity in the first film before they finally made it work at the end of that film and secured themselves as a couple in the sequel.
