The official synopsis of the film reads, “Bridget Jones finally has some luck in her life; she has a great job as a screenwriter, her family, and a new boyfriend; the fact that he is over twenty years younger than her isn't the only thing that is causing problems.”

Meanwhile, opening up about the upcoming film, Grant previously revealed to People Magazine that the sequel almost made him cry.

The Heretic star revealed, "I haven't seen it, but I, obviously, know the script and I'm a harsh judge of script, and it was really good. Really moving as well as funny, because it's based on [author] Helen Fielding... This last book is based on her own experience of losing her husband and bringing up her kids alone."

He further added, "It's got a huge amount of heart. It made me cry. Have I made it sound too dumb? It's also extremely funny."

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy will be available to stream on Peacock from February 13.
