The entire Franchise of The Saw Horror Movies are coming to Netflix Thursday March 19, 2026, with the exception of 2021’s Spiral. Spiral is streaming on HULU and is available to rent on Amazon Prime Video.
The Saw Horror Movies were created by James Wan and Leigh Wannell and in 2003 they created a short film to pitch the feature film concept. After having no success in their native country of Australia, they came to the United States where several producers had expressed interest in their creation. Lionsgate released the first Saw Movie in 2004.
The films take place in a fictional universe that revolves around a serial killer, dubbed The Jigsaw Killer, who captures victims who he believes do not appreciate their life and puts them into traps to test their survival instinct. While starting as a film series, Saw has evolved to encompass numerous media forms including video games and comics as well as mazes and a roller coaster.
According to The New York Times in October 2009, including international sales and revenue from DVDs, television and merchandise, the Saw series has taken in more than $1 billion, making it one of the highest-grossing horror franchises in history. This comprises over 28 million DVDs sold and $665 million worth of ticket sales for the first five films alone, along with various other merchandise. On July 23, 2010, the franchise was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the “Most Successful Horror Movie Series”.
