‘Saw 11’ Officially Announced With 2024 Release Date – Here’s When It Comes Out

Lionsgate and Saw’s social media channels have confirmed the production of a sequel to Saw X, scheduled for release on September 27, 2024. The announcement post featured an image highlighting XI, denoting 11, with the caption “The game continues. 9.27.24”.

As for details about the sequel, aside from its official confirmation and release date, little has been disclosed. It’s uncertain whether Tobin Bell will reprise his role as John Kramer/Jigsaw, though his return seems probable.

Saw X performed impressively at the box office, surpassing $100 million globally, far exceeding its modest budget. This success likely prompted Lionsgate to greenlight another installment in the iconic horror franchise, which began in 2004.

The announcement of Saw XI follows a trend of horror’s resurgence, evident in recent box office hits like Saw X and Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s. While superhero films have seen relatively subdued performances, horror movies have flourished both financially and in terms of social media engagement.

Despite differing critical receptions and fan reactions, horror films have been thriving, with many highly anticipated releases garnering significant online buzz. This trend underscores the genre’s current popularity, with Saw XI poised to continue this success when it hits theaters on September 27, 2024.
