According to the Daily Mail, Renée Zellweger is set to reprise her beloved role as the saucy, lovelorn Brit in the fourth installment of the award-winning franchise, which debuted 23 years ago. The fourth film will likely start shooting in May, per the publication, and will reportedly continue the romantic plotlines from the first three films, which were based on novels by author Helen Fielding. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant are apparently expected to return for the newest flick, too.
