CONFIRMED: Tobin Bell Will Return As "Jigsaw" Next Year In New 'SAW' Film

With Darren Bousman’s success with ‘Spiral: From the Book of Saw’ last year, pulling in $40 million worldwide, it’s no wonder the ‘SAW’ franchise had some interested parties when it came to another film being made. MacabreDaily has learned that Tobin Bell will return as John “Jigsaw” Kramer for SAW 10, next year, just in time for Halloween.

Tobin Bell will reprise his signature role as John Kramer as Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures prepare to go into production later this month on the next installment of the billion-dollar Saw franchise, with the new film slated for release on October 27, 2023. 

Franchise stalwart Kevin Greutert, who directed the highly regarded Saw VI and Saw: The Final Chapter, and edited Saw I through V and Jigsaw, is directing the project.

“The return of Bell to the franchise furthers Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ goal of a film that captures everything Saw fans love about the franchise, while also keeping them guessing with all-new traps and a new mystery to solve,” the press release notes.

Commenting on the announcement, Saw franchise producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules said, “What a thrill to be reuniting with Tobin. His performance as John Kramer is part of the magic that made this franchise a phenomenon and his character is an active part of this film.”

The character of Jigsaw was memorably killed off in Saw III way back in 2006, with the character popping up in flashbacks throughout subsequent installments of the franchise.

How will he be included in this next installment is anyone’s guess but we do know this time around he will be featured more predominantly to the joy of longtime franchise fans.
