What happens

Bridget Jones's Baby is a 2016 romantic comedy film directed by Sharon Maguire from a screenplay by Helen Fielding, Dan Mazer, and Emma Thompson, based on a story by Fielding. It is the sequel to Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) and the third installment in the Bridget Jones film series. The film once again stars Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones, who is shocked when she finds out she is pregnant and must deduce which of her two recent loves is the father, lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth, also reprising his role) or mathematician Jack Qwant (Patrick Dempsey), all while trying to hide one from the other. The film marked Zellweger's return to the screen after a six-year hiatus. Bridget Jones's Baby premiered at the Odeon Leicester Square in London on 5 September 2016 and was released in the United Kingdom and United States on 16 September. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed over $211 million worldwide against a production budget of $35 million. Bridget Jones's Baby was nominated for a European Film Academy Lux Award and a Globe de Cristal Awards for Best Foreign Film. A sequel, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, was released in 2025.
