Saw: Legacy is an upcoming American horror film directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, and written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger. It is the eighth installment in the Saw franchise.

Development

Saw 3D was intended to be the final film in the Saw franchise,[4] with the film being split into two parts. However, Lionsgate Films only allowed the filmmakers to make one more film after Saw VI under-performed at the box office. According to Saw 3D writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, because of the change, "[t]he big reveal of Dr. Gordon was a bit underserved ... Perhaps creating more questions than answers. There were several ideas we never quite figured out. But I don’t want to say what they were, because you never know what might happen in the future."[5]

In February 2016, it was reported that Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger will write the script.[3] In July 2016, it became known that Michael and Peter Spierig will direct the film. Saw: Legacy is currently slated for a October 27, 2017 release date.[1][6]
