Saw XI Canceled as Producer Conflicts Halt Franchise Progress

The future of the Saw franchise remains uncertain after unresolved disputes between producers and Lionsgate led to the cancellation of its next installment.

Saw XI, initially slated for a 2024 release and later delayed to 2025, has been officially canceled due to internal disagreements between producers and Lionsgate.
Producer disputes reportedly began in January 2024, with one party attempting to advance production while another created obstacles, leaving Lionsgate unable to mediate successfully.
The script for Saw XI was completed and aimed to address socially relevant themes, continuing the franchise's tradition of engaging with timely issues, but no progress has been made since spring 2024.
Saw X revitalized the franchise in 2023, earning $125 million globally on a $13 million budget, highlighting the series' enduring appeal despite past challenges.
The cancellation has left the franchise's future uncertain, with speculation about a potential reboot or sale of rights to a new studio.
