Plus, Hallmark’s Loveuary is in full swing, with new romantic movies premiering every week.

All that, and the return of Summer House! It’s a big week on Peacock, and we’re here to break it down for you.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
Just in time for Galentine’s Day, Renée Zellweger returns as Bridget Jones, the iconic rom-com heroine that defined a genre. Now juggling two kids, going back to work, and the world of online dating, Bridget is just as endearing — and hilarious — as ever. Also back are fan favorites like her best friend Shazzer, Dr. Rawlings, and yes, Hugh Grant as the charming yet devious Daniel Cleaver. Of course, Bridget wouldn’t be Bridget if she weren’t once again caught between two hot love interests, played by Leo Woodall and Chiwetel Ejiofor. So, pour yourself a drink, keep a box of tissues handy, and make it a movie night with Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, streaming Feb 13 only on Peacock.
