The third instalment of the Bridget Jones series has found its first new addition, with Patrick Dempsey (Grey’s Anatomy) signing on to appear in the Working Title sequel Bridget Jones’s Baby.
The film, which is expected to go into production later this year under Bridget Jones’s Diary helmer Sharon Maguire, will see Renee Zellweger returning in the title role alongside Colin Firth as Mark Darcy, although Hugh Grant will not be back as Daniel Cleaver.
Plot details for Bridget Jones’s Baby are being kept under wraps, but the script has been penned by creator Helen Fielding, along with David Nicholls (One Day).
