It's been 12 years since we last saw Bridget Jones but it appears life for the British singleton is just as messy as before.
In the new third instalment, Jones (Renee Zellweger) has a great job as a news producer. Things soon go awry – as they always seem do for Jones – when she falls pregnant, with no idea who the father is.
Enter American millionaire Jack Qwant, played by Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey, and the ever-reliable and dashing – albeit slightly greyer – Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth.
The full trailer for Bridget Jones's Baby shows Jones struggling to placate the two men in her life who equally want to be the father of her baby.
The story seriously diverges from Fielding's 2013 novel, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, which follows Jones after she is widowed by Darcy and raising their children alone.
Dempsey's Qwant replaces the Daniel Cleaver character, played by Hugh Grant, as Darcy's rival in this film version.
Qwant and a very-much-alive Darcy try to woo Jones to varying degrees of success. In one scene from the trailer, Darcy brings Jones an iced tea. Qwant gives her a "super juice" and offers to carry her bag. An outshone Darcy miserably offers to carry her phone.
English actress Emma Thompson rounds out the ensemble cast as Jones's mirthful gynaecologist who both ridicules and agitates the situation.
"It's like the final of The X-Factor," Thompson's character says. "Dial 01 if you want it to be Mark, dial 02 if you want it to be Jack," she sniggers to the stunned trio during an ultrasound.
Fans hoping for a clear-cut paternity will be disappointed, with Qwant and Darcy both carrying a labouring Jones into the emergency room, thinking they're the father.
The Bridget Jones franchise – based on writer Helen Fielding's 1990s column in The Independent – is famous for tackling Jones's miserable love life with trademark British self-deprecating humour.
But Bridget Jones's Baby looks set to hit an emotional note as both of Jones's lovers want to start a family with her.
In one scene, a crestfallen Darcy sees Jones and Qwant giggling and hugging in a hospital consulting room. Qwant also wants to know if she can ever fall in love with him and forget Darcy.
"Are you in love with him?" Qwant probes Jones on her relationship with Darcy.
Jones: "I have been in the past."
Qwant: "And me?"
Jones: "I could be. One day."
Bridget Jones's Baby hits Australian cinemas 15 September 2016. It looks like it's going to be a bumpy ride.
