Renée Zellweger is thought to be returning to our screens as Bridget Jones for the fourth time - but this time with her son in tow.
Bridget Jones last graced our screens six years ago in Bridget Jones's Baby where film fans saw the character fall unexpectedly pregnant and trying to work out who the father was.
It's been reported that the fourth film is in talks and Renée will be returning as the lovable character.
The Sun reported that the film was 'secretly' being worked on along with many of the original cast making their return as well.
The next film is rumoured to be co-written by creator Helen Fielding, 64.

It's thought the movie will tell the story of Bridget navigating motherhood with her son William.
A source said: "There have been few more successful or more popular rom-coms than Bridget Jones over the last couple of decades, but everyone thought this one was done for good.
"However the producers always knew their was a huge market for another sequel when the right story was available, and this feels like the right time to tell it.
"It will be seven or eight years since the last movie by the time this one hits the big screen, and fans will be desperate to find out what happened. It’s a British classic."
Production set to begin later this year.
The last film saw Bridget trying to work out if it was lawyer Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, 61, or if charming new love interest Jack Qwant, portrayed by 56-year-old Patrick Dempsey was the father of her child.
There was a star studded cast featuring Jim Broadbent, 73, Emma Thompson, 63 , Celia Imrie, 70, as well as a cameo from 31-year-old Ed Sheeran.
However, Hugh Grant's character Daniel Cleaver didn't make an appearance.
But it looks as though it's possible that the door is still open for a return in the fourth film as the end of Bridget Jones's Baby saw a newspaper headline shown at the end that revealed he had been found alive a year after his supposed death.
The film franchise began in 2001 and is based on the successful book Bridget Jones' Diary.
The series follows the struggles of Bridget navigating life including her career and finding love in her thirties.
In total the films have found huge success and have grossed almost £1billion at the box office.
However, the second movie The Edge of Reason struggles to be quite as successful as the first but was still popular with the fans.
Actress Renée has found huge fame through the films but has also enjoyed a successful acting career elsewhere.
Her last film appearance was in 2019's Judy which was a popular biopic of Judy Garland.
She's also currently starring in series The Thing About Pam.
