Beginning in December, fans will have the chance to watch three of Renée Zellweger‘s beloved films exclusively as part of Renée Zellweger movies on Peacock. This marks a significant moment for enthusiasts of the Bridget Jones franchise who are eager to revisit Zellweger’s acclaimed role as the iconic character, as Peacock adds the original trilogy to its streaming lineup.
The Bridget Jones Trilogy Arrives on Streaming
Starting December 1, the first three movies of the popular Bridget Jones series will be accessible to Peacock subscribers. Previously, only the recent sequel,
“Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,”
was available for streaming. This 2025 installment gained strong approval from critics and audiences, collecting over $140 million globally on a budget close to $50 million. The film earned an 88% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, becoming the franchise’s most highly-rated entry.
Which Renée Zellweger Titles Are Coming?
The following three films will join the Peackock catalog, allowing viewers to enjoy Renée Zellweger’s award-nominated performances in sequence:
- Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)
- Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)
- Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016)
The Bridget Jones series, inspired by Helen Fielding’s best-selling novels, chronicles the silly, heartfelt, and sometimes awkward adventures of Bridget as she maneuvers through life and navigates confusing relationships with characters like Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver. Zellweger’s portrayal in the original 2001 film brought her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, cementing her status as one of the leading figures in romantic comedy. The franchise’s cast includes Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Patrick Dempsey, Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Leo Woodall, making each film packed with star power and ensemble chemistry. Despite the series’ overall success, “The Edge of Reason” stands as the only sequel to receive a less favorable response from critics.
