Bridget Jones's Diary, the beloved romantic comedy starring Renée Zellweger, is set to depart Prime Video within days. The film, which first premiered in 2001, has only 11 days left on the streaming platform as of 16 December.
The movie follows Bridget Jones, a single woman in her thirties, as she documents her chaotic romantic life and personal insecurities in a diary. The stellar cast includes Zellweger as Bridget, Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver, and Colin Firth as Mark Darcy.
Despite being over two decades old, the film remains hugely popular, with many fans rewatching it annually, particularly at Christmas. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 79% rating. One viewer called it a 'masterpiece of romantic comedy', while another described it as their 'Christmas go-to movie'.
After its removal from Prime Video, the film will still be available on Netflix for standard plan subscribers, though not on ad-supported plans due to licensing restrictions. Additionally, BBC One will air it tonight at 10.40pm, followed by a limited streaming window on BBC iPlayer.
The film's legacy includes an Academy Award nomination for Zellweger's performance. Fans can also enjoy sequels such as Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004), Bridget Jones's Baby (2016), and the upcoming Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025).
