The long-awaited fourth Bridget Jones : Mad About the Boy is set to premiere on Peacock .

Renée Zellweger , Colin Firth , and Hugh Grant starred in the film.

The sequel begins four years after Mark Darcy dies, and Bridget is a widowed mother of their kids.

Of all the movie's sequels that have come from Fielding 's book series, Mad About the Boy is the most profound.

It doesn't feel like just another go with Bridget and her boys.

Even as the movie meanders to an indulgent runtime of two hours and four minutes , the filmmakers litter the path with treasures.

Bridget Jones : Mad About the Boy is the best sequel of the batch.

It's joyful, seeded with Easter eggs, and radiant with Zellweger back in full effect.

But it's also a tearjerker that might well knock the wind out of you.
