Saw XI Canceled as Producer Disputes Halt Franchise Progress

The future of the Saw franchise remains uncertain following the cancellation of Saw XI, with discussions of a potential reboot if the rights are sold.

Saw XI has been officially canceled due to unresolved managerial disputes between producers and Lionsgate, halting production indefinitely.
The script for Saw XI was completed in spring 2024, but no progress has been made since May of that year.
Saw X, released in 2023, was a critical and financial success, earning $125.3 million globally and revitalizing interest in the franchise.
Lionsgate has not announced any plans to resolve the disputes, but speculation suggests the franchise could be rebooted if its rights are sold.
Tobin Bell and Kevin Greutert, key figures in the franchise, were set to return for Saw XI, which had been delayed to September 2025 before its cancellation.
