Fourteen years after becoming a firm nation favourite with her role as awkward singleton Bridget Jones, Renee Zellweger has returned to the role for the third film sequel Bridget Jones’ Baby.
The first image was released by Universal pictures yesterday, showing a modern Bridget posing with an iPad.
Just last week former Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey shared a picture from the set of the new Bridget Jones on Instagram, writing:
“Nice to be working in England. Renee and Colin (Firth) are an absolute joy to work with! A good couple of days rehearsing at Pinewood Studios. I really like it here!”
This promptly ignited rumours he would be Bridget’s new love interest, after Hugh Grant confirmed he would not be revisiting the Helen Fielding–created characters.
The new film reportedly shows Bridget entering her forties, as she juggles new motherhood, her career as a publishing executive, and a roller coast love life- we presume.
We can’t wait!
Bridget Jones’s Baby will reportedly arrive in theaters in September 2016.
