WATCH: Who could be the father of ‘Bridget Jones’s Baby'?

MANILA, Philippines - Oscar winners Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth are joined by Patrick Dempsey for the next chapter of the world’s favorite singleton in Universal Pictures' romantic comedy “Bridget Jones’s Baby.”

Directed by Sharon Maguire, the new film of the beloved comedy series, based on creator Helen Fielding’s heroine, finds Bridget unexpectedly expecting.

After breaking up with Mark Darcy (Firth), Bridget Jones’s (Zellweger) “happily ever after” hasn’t quite gone according to plan. Forty something and single again, she decides to focus on her job as top news producer and surround herself with old friends and new.

For once, Bridget has everything completely under control. What could possibly go wrong?

Then her love life takes a turn and Bridget meets a dashing American named Jack (Dempsey), the suitor who is everything Mr. Darcy is not. In an unlikely twist, she finds herself pregnant, but with one hitch…she can only be fifty percent sure of the identity of her baby’s father.

The much-anticipated third installment of the Bridget Jones’s franchise welcomes fellow Academy Award winner Emma Thompson to the cast. Longtime collaborators Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films produce alongside Debra Hayward.

Opening across the Philippines on September 14, “Bridget Jones's Baby” is distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
