Saw XI Canceled After Prolonged Producer Disputes

The future of the Saw franchise remains uncertain as unresolved conflicts between producers and Lionsgate halt progress on the planned sequel.

  • Saw XI, originally announced in late 2023, has been officially canceled after over a year of stalled progress due to internal producer disputes.
  • The planned sequel had a finished script and was set to bring back key franchise figures, including director Kevin Greutert and actor Tobin Bell.
  • The cancellation follows the critical and financial success of Saw X, which grossed $125 million globally on a $13 million budget in 2023.
  • Reports suggest that the franchise could potentially be rebooted if the rights are sold to another studio, though no concrete plans have been announced.
  • Lionsgate has not issued an official statement on the cancellation, leaving fans and industry insiders speculating about the franchise's next steps.
