The announcement comes just a few months after the tenth instalment arrived in September, opening to mostly positive reviews and becoming the only certified 'fresh' film in the franchise on Rotten Tomatoes, where it currently has a critics' score of 80%.
Saw X is set between the events of the first film in the long-running franchise and its 2005 sequel, with Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith returning as John Kramer and Amanda Young, respectively.

Saw X is the longest film in the franchise, with a lengthy runtime of 118 minutes. However, director Kevin Greutert previously revealed that it was originally longer, and that he had to cut down the script.
"There were a lot of script pages and just a lot that we wanted to capture. So, I had to trim the film down and take out some scenes and shorten some scenes more than I wanted," he said.
No further details were shared about the 11th film, including whether Jigsaw and Amanda will be back.
In October, Greutert told The Hollywood Reporter: "We'll just have to see what the future of Saw is. There are so many directions we could go, but for me, there's no obvious one coming out of [Saw X].
"I really wanted it to feel like a kind of final send-off for the Jigsaw character, but never say never."
Saw XI is scheduled for release on September 24, 2024.
