Bridget Jones is back and in the long-awaited trailer for the fourth film, the bachelorette breaks her four-year sex streak with a much younger man.
The iconic character, played by Renee Zellweger, meets an incredibly handsome young man (Leo Woodall), with whom she spends “an entire night of absolutely mind-blowing sex.”
And fans can expect a very sexy wet shirt that Mr. Darcy references when Leo’s handsome character, Roxster, emerges from a pool after rescuing a dog.
Leo closely resembled Colin Firth as the main protagonist, Mr. Darcy, in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s 1813 novel from which Bridget Jones was inspired.
Bridget married her on-again, off-again love Mark Darcy (Colin) in the third installment of the franchise.
Bridget Jones fans go wild over Leo Woodall’s wet, steaming shirt scene inspired by Mr. Darcy’s iconic lake plunge in Pride and Prejudice.
But fans are reunited with her in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy four years after Mark’s tragic death, which left Bridget a widow with two children.
The fourth installment of the acclaimed franchise is based on the book of the same name by Helen Fielding.
The most recent film, 2016’s Bridget Jones’ Baby, saw Bridget shocked when she discovered she was pregnant. She ended up marrying Mark, the high-profile lawyer for whom she had had on-again, off-again feelings throughout the three films, and revealed that he was the father of her baby.
However, in Mad About The Boy, Mark tragically dies while working abroad as a human rights lawyer, leaving Bridget a widow and the book follows her as she struggles with motherhood alone.
He also quits his TV job to do the school run, and comedic scenes are expected as he struggles to keep up with the Yummy Mummies.
Bridget will also find herself in the middle of a three-way battle for his affections, between boy Roxster (Leo), PE teacher Mr. Wallaker (Chiwetel) and the returning Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).
Bridget is encouraged by her friends to get back on the horse after self-imposing a four-year sex ban in the years after Mark’s death.
During a trip to the park, Bridget discovers that her two children are trapped in a tree.
Bridget Jones is back and the long-awaited trailer for the fourth film sees the bachelorette break her four-year sex streak with a much younger man.
However, in Mad About The Boy, Mark later tragically dies while working abroad as a human rights lawyer, leaving Bridget a widow and the book follows her as she struggles with motherhood alone.
But to the rescue come two handsome men: Roxster from The White Lotus and Mr Wallaker from Chiwetel.
As the trailer progresses, Bridget’s romance with Roxster intensifies and the pair have “mind-blowing sex” after a date. However, Bridget becomes confused as her flirtatious encounters with Mr. Wallaker increase and she eventually stumbles into a barn and finds him half naked.
Bridget Jones fans can also rejoice in a particularly sexy scene in which Roxster jumps into a pool in front of her to rescue a puppy, in a moment that mirrors Mr. Darcy’s iconic Pride and Prejudice appearance.
The film was officially confirmed this year, with the script written by author Helen, Abi Morgan and Dan Mazer, and Michael Morris attached to direct.
Helen was also seen on set as she prepares to say goodbye to the beloved character.

When asked about a fourth installment of the film, author Helen previously told Radio Times: “Every film that is made is a miracle…
“I think it’s really hard to make movies, make them real and make them good, and we want it to be really good. But I really hope so. I would love to see it on the screen.”
There were rumors last year that the film had been canceled due to strikes by American actors, but sources said such claims were “nonsense.”
The first film, Bridget Jones’s Diary, was released in 2001 and grossed £222 million at the box office, more than ten times what it cost to make.
