Did you really think it the game was over? The games have just begun.

Today, Lionsgate released the hotly anticipated trailer for Saw X at Midsummer Scream. The film, directed by Kevin Greutert, sees the return of Tobin Bell’s John Kramer, which we at OTN exclusively broke the news of. The film is the first half of Saw Patrol, the upcoming trend reminiscent of Barbenheimer.

Leading up to the trailer’s drop, Lionsgate put together an excellent marketing campaign where you would call a number, hear Bell’s iconic Jigsaw voice, then be sent stills from the film. It’s helped build up excitement for the latest and twisted instalment in the billion-dollar franchise. The milestone tenth instalment also sees the return of Shawnee Smith’s fan-favourite Amanda Young and we at OTN have heard rumblings that Costas Mandylor may be reprising his role as Mark Hoffman, the most successful Jigsaw apprentice. However, Lionsgate has declined to comment on this rumor.

Read the synopsis for Saw X and watch the trailer below:

John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back. The most chilling installment of the SAW franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw’s most personal game. Set between the events of SAW I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, John returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through a series of ingenious and terrifying traps.

Saw X stars Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand, and Michael Beach. The film will release on September 29, 2023. Are you excited? Let us know!
