Bridget Jones 3 has got the go-ahead as The Full Monty's Peter Cattaneo has been signed up to direct.
The third instalment of the franchise, entitled Bridget Jones' Baby, will see Renee Zellweger reprise her role as the awkward singleton.
Bridget Jones will return for a third film directed by Peter Cattaneo.Colin Firth will return as Mark Darcy, while Hugh Grant will play Daniel Cleaver once again, bringing the love triangle back together.
English writer Helen Fielding started the Bridget Jones's Diary column in The Independent in 1995, before it was adapted into a novel. A follow-up, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, was published in 1998.
Both books were turned into hugely successful films, earning Zellweger an Oscar nomination.
The title of the third film would suggest that Bridget has a child, although there is no information about which of her two suitors is the father.
In Fielding's last column entries back in 2006, the father was revealed as Daniel Clever, but the film may choose to take a different path.
Bridesmaids director Paul Feig was originally slated to direct the latest flick, but it was decided that a British director would be better suited to the task.
Filming is now set to begin in January, with the finished article hopefully hitting cinema screens a year later.
