London, March 4 - Bosses at American network NBC are set to bring Renee Zellweger's Bridget Jones character to TV through a new weekly show.

Rumours of a third instalment in the movie series have been rife over the last few months and speculation about the future of the franchise has now turned to TV, following a deal between bosses at Working Title, the British studio behind 'Bridget Jones', and NBC, reported imdb.com.

President of NBC Universal International, Pete Smith, has said executives are working on a 'reservoir' of content but refused to discuss specifics as film rights are still under discussion, but a 'Bridget Jones' adaptation is said to be a top priority.
