Lionsgate has announced that the Saw franchise will continue with an 11th mainline installment. Saw XI has been confirmed to debut on September 27, 2024, as revealed by the film studio on social media. "The game continues," Lionsgate stated.
The announcement of Saw XI comes shortly after the successful release of Saw X at the end of September. With a budget of $13 million, Saw X earned over $107 million, prompting the greenlight for another sequel.
The director of Saw X, Kevin Greutert, revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that the movie was intended as a "final send-off" for the Jigsaw character. However, Greutert also expressed a "never say never" attitude about the possibility of bringing the character back.
Saw X occurs chronologically between Saw I and Saw II, with John Kramer seeking a miracle cure for his cancer in Mexico, only to uncover a scam exploiting vulnerable individuals. This motivates Kramer to exact his own form of justice by capturing con artists and subjecting them to unthinkable challenges as part of his "games."
Receiving favorable reviews, Saw X holds a positive aggregate review rating on Metacritic. The series, which began in 2004, has remained popular and spawned spinoff films such as Jigsaw and Spiral.

Editor's P/S
As a die-hard fan of the Saw franchise, I am thrilled to hear about the announcement of Saw XI. The series has consistently delivered heart-pounding suspense and thought-provoking moral dilemmas, and I can't wait to see what new horrors await in this upcoming installment. The fact that Saw X was such a financial success despite its relatively low budget is a testament to the enduring popularity of the franchise, and I'm confident that Saw XI will continue this trend.
While I understand that Saw X was intended to be a final send-off for the Jigsaw character, I share Kevin Greutert's "never say never" attitude about the possibility of bringing him back. Jigsaw is such an iconic villain, and his presence has been a defining element of the series. I would love to see him return in some capacity, even if it's just in a cameo appearance. Regardless of whether Jigsaw returns or not, I'm certain that Saw XI will be a worthy addition to the franchise and will keep fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
