In June 2025, original "Saw" director James Wan joined forces with Blumhouse to acquire a 50% stake in the franchise, paving the way for his return to help shape future installments. More than a year later, the 11th movie was officially confirmed on September 24, 2026, with Mike P. Nelson tapped to direct. Nelson previously helmed the 2021 "Wrong Turn" reboot and "The Domestics."
Geoff Tock and Gregory Weidman, whose credits include the "Limitless" TV series and the "Dune" prequel series "Dune: Prophecy," have been hired to write the screenplay. The film does not yet have a release date, and casting remains under wraps. Barring any major surprises, however, Tobin Bell is expected to return as John Kramer, aka Jigsaw.
