Here's exactly when you can watch Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy on Sky Cinema

Fans of Britain’s most beloved diarist can mark their calendars: Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy will be available on Sky Cinema Premiere and NOW from Friday 3 October.

The fourth film in the hugely popular franchise continues the story of Bridget, played once again by Renée Zellweger, as she navigates life after the loss of her husband. Now a widow and single mum, Bridget finds herself juggling parenting with a return to her career, the support of her ever-loyal circle of friends and family, and the unexpected reappearance of her notorious former flame, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).

But the film isn’t just about revisiting old flames. Modern dating is very much part of Bridget’s journey, as she dips her toes into app-based romance. Among the potential new suitors are a charmingly younger man (Leo Woodall) and, perhaps closer to home, her son’s science teacher (Chiwetel Ejiofor), sparking a series of hilarious and heartwarming dilemmas.

Since its release in cinemas earlier this year, Mad About the Boy has proved a runaway hit at the box office, delighting audiences worldwide and reaffirming Bridget’s place as one of the most enduring rom-com characters of the last two decades. Critics have praised Zellweger’s return to the role as both warm and refreshingly funny, while the film’s mix of nostalgia and modern twists has struck a chord with long-time fans and newcomers alike.

Joining Zellweger, Grant, Woodall, and Ejiofor is an impressive supporting cast that includes Emma Thompson, who once again brings her scene-stealing comedic timing, alongside fresh faces who breathe new life into the story.

For Sky Cinema subscribers and NOW viewers, the release offers the perfect chance to revisit Bridget’s world—or discover it for the first time—just in time for cosy autumn evenings.

In the US, fans can stream the film on Peacock.
