Saw 11 Update Is Good News for Horror Movie Fans

Producer Jason Blum recently revealed a promising update on Saw 11, which is exciting news for horror fans of the iconic franchise.

What was Jason Blum’s Saw 11 update?

In June, Blum and his Blumhouse production company closed a deal for the rights to the Saw franchise. With Saw now under his control, Blum plans to reboot the franchise. The next installment would be Saw XI.

While speaking with Variety, Blum teased the future for Saw, including how he plans to use the architect behind the franchise to “reinvent” it.

“It’s really hard to make 10 movies in a franchise — I don’t take that away from the original series’ producers,” Blum said about the Saw series. “And I’m grateful to them for allowing us to continue. My creative outlook is what I always preach: Get the people who made the magic in the first place more involved. James Wan will be hugely involved. That’s how we’re going to reinvent it.”

The first Saw movie was released in 2004. Wan directed from a screenplay by Leigh Whannell, based on a story conceived by the duo. Made for a production budget between $1 million and $1.2 million, Saw became a colossal hit, grossing $104 million worldwide.

The success of Saw spawned an entire media franchise, which includes 10 movies, multiple video games, and comic books.

The most recent movie, 2023’s Saw X, grossed $125 million on a $13 million budget. In December 2023, Lionsgate greenlit Saw XI for a scheduled release in October 2024. The film was eventually pushed to September 2025.

In March 2025, Lionsgate removed Saw XI from the release calendar due to disagreements between producers and the studio.

Blumhouse now owns the rights to the Saw franchise. Lionsgate still holds a 50% interest in the IP and will continue partnering on future Saw movies.
