Attention all Netflix viewers! If you've been meaning to catch up on the beloved Bridget Jones rom-com franchise, now is the time. You only have a few weeks left to watch the first three films before the highly-anticipated fourth installment, "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy," hits theaters on Valentine's Day.
For those who may not know, the Bridget Jones movies are based on the book series by Helen Fielding, which is a modern retelling of Jane Austen's classic "Pride and Prejudice." The first film, released in 2001, introduced us to Bridget Jones, played by the talented Renee Zellweger, and her love interests Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).
The original film was followed by two sequels, "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" in 2004 and "Bridget Jones's Baby" in 2016. However, before we can get lost in the latest chapter of Bridget's life, Netflix will be taking down the first three films on January 15.
This news has already caused frustration among viewers, as the films have recently been taken down from Netflix in other countries. Some fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with one user posting, "HOW CAN THEY NOT HAVE BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY ON MAX OR NETFLIX????????" Another user shared, "Bridget Jones is no longer on Netflix," while another chimed in, "Why aren't Mamma Mia and Bridget Jones Diary on Netflix?"
The fourth film, "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy," is based on the 2013 novel of the same name, where Bridget is now a widow in her 50s with two young children. Her love interests this time around are her kids' teacher, Mr. Wallaker, and a 29-year-old toyboy named Roxster.
Director Michael Morris has described the film as a "comedy of grief," exploring how Bridget navigates through this new chapter of her life with her signature humor and joyfulness. He hopes that viewers will see a different side of Bridget and appreciate the film as a "real-life rom-com."
So, mark your calendars and make sure to watch the first three Bridget Jones films before they leave Netflix on January 15. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share, don't hesitate to get in touch with us – we'd love to hear from you!
