The Saw franchise was going to continue expanding with Saw 11, but I’m having a hard time accepting its supposed cancellation after Saw X broke a franchise record. The horror genre is home to some of the most extensive and popular franchises in the entertainment world, and one of them is Saw. Created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, the Saw franchise started with a short film in 2003, which served as the basis for the 2004 movie of the same name.
