Renée Zellweger Expresses Desire for More Bridget Jones Films After 2025 Release

Renée Zellweger has expressed hope for more Bridget Jones movies despite the fourth film, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, being seen as the final installment. She shared that while her understanding is that the story might be ending, she keeps her fingers crossed that author Helen Fielding will want to explore more of Bridget's life. Director Michael Morris echoed this sentiment, noting the introduction of new characters like Chiwetel Ejiofor's Scott Walliker and Leo Woodall's Roxster McDuff, and that Helen Fielding's own life developments might inspire further chapters. The Bridget Jones series, which began with the 2001 film Bridget Jones's Diary, has resonated with audiences across generations, with Fielding noting that the character appeals to younger generations due to her emotional authenticity and relatable social media-driven experiences. Zellweger reflected on the 25-year journey with the character and cast, describing the ending as both wonderful and sad, but remains hopeful for the future. The franchise continues to evolve with the introduction of Bridget's children and new love interests, leaving open the possibility for more stories.
