Bridget Jones

edited 2026-06-19

A complete reading and viewing order for the Bridget Jones franchise — Helen Fielding's four novels and four films starring Renée Zellweger. Covers both publication and in-universe chronological order, including the notable mismatch where novel three (Mad About the Boy) was published before novel four (Baby: The Diaries) but occurs after it in Bridget's life.
