Two years ago, rumours were swirling that Bridget Jones 4 was secretly in the works and insiders claimed we could expect a 2024 release. Fast forward to February, and the speculation was at an all time high. It sparked opinion pieces about why a fourth instalment was not needed, countered by a defence of the millennial heroine, but there's one thing that everyone could agree on: like it or loathe it, Renée Zellweger's rumoured return caused a buzz.
The last time we saw Bridget it was 2016; she was hanging out with Ed Sheeran in a field, dating Derek McDreamy Shepherd (sorry, Patrick Dempsey), and preparing for the birth of her first child with potential-biological-father, Mark Darcy. All in all, Bridget Jones's Baby was probably the most chaotic - and least revered - addition to the Bridgetverse. However, the iconic noughties heroine is getting ready to return with none other than Leo Woodall in tow.
