Saw is one of the most popular horror movie franchises to date and it continues to evolve – for example, with its most recent title Spiral: From the Book of Saw.
There has been plenty of speculation about the future of Saw, from a Saw X movie to a television series adaptation.
Speaking on Bloody Disgusting's The Boo Crew podcast, Spiral director Darren Bousman isn't short of ideas, and he explained where he thinks the franchise could lead to and said "there's a lot more to tell".

Bousman said: "I have found a renewed interest in the Saw universe. I thought that it was played out and I had done everything I could. Getting a chance to work with people like Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson has kind of reinvigorated my love for these type of stories and what can be done with them.
"So I think there's a lot more to tell and a lot more I'd want to tell. Just because Spiral exists does not mean there will never be a Saw 9. This is a diversion… this is a different path.
What to Read Next
"You're not done seeing Tobin Bell at all. What I think will happen, if this is successful, is you'll see Spiral 2, and then you'll see Saw 9. And then you'll see Spiral 3, you'll see Saw 10. You might see a TV series."

Comparing the franchise to the MCU, Bousman said that we might see "the MarvelVerse of the Saw franchise".
He explained further and said that there will be different storylines taking place but they'll all come under the Saw franchise.
"It'll exist in the same universe, and there will be different storylines taking place," Bousman added.
Spiral: From the Book of Saw is out now in US and UK cinemas.
