As Halloween approaches, fans of the Saw franchise eagerly anticipate the release of the latest installment, Saw XI, slated for Halloween 2025. While the series won’t grace theaters this Halloween season, the promise of a thrilling sequel looms large.

Scheduled for September 26, 2025, Saw XI will see the return of director Kevin Greutert, known for his work on Saw X. Collaborating with him is Marcus Dunstan, a familiar name in the franchise, co-writing the script.

Dunstan shares, “We’re currently crafting XI, with Kevin Greutert back in the director’s chair. It’s poised to deliver something new and impactful.”

Saw X, released last year, brought back beloved characters Jigsaw and Amanda, bridging the narrative gap between the original film and its first sequel. The film was a resounding success for Lionsgate, raking in $111 million globally.

As for Saw XI’s storyline, details remain shrouded in mystery. It’s uncertain whether it will follow the events of Saw X or explore a different aspect of the timeline. Fans eagerly await further revelations.

Marcus Dunstan’s involvement in the franchise is extensive, having previously contributed to the scripts of Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, and Saw 3D. Director Kevin Greutert has helmed Saw VI, Saw 3D, and Saw X, making him a familiar presence in the series.
