Bridget (Renée Zellweger) navigates life as a widow and single mom with the help of her family, friends, and former lover Daniel (Hugh Grant). Back at work and on the apps, she's pursued by a younger man and maybe - just maybe - her son's science teacher.
'Mad About the Boy' begins four years after Mark's death, as Bridget emerges from the first raw shock of grief to engage with the dating scene again. And how different that scene looks now – when she was last single there was no Twitter, sexting or online dating, and a cougar was just a big cat.
Step forward two potential new suitors: the impetuous Roxster ('The White Lotus' Leo Woodall) and straight-laced teacher Mr Wallaker ('12 Years a Slave's Chiwetel Ejiofor). Can Bridget make it work with either of them?
Zellweger, Grant, Colin Firth and Emma Thompson reprise their roles as Bridget Jones, Daniel Cleaver, Mark Darcy and Doctor Rawlings, respectively, with Ejiofor, Woodall, Isla Fisher, Josette Simon, Nico Parker and Leila Farzad joining the cast.
