Het lijkt erop dat Saw VII het laatste deel uit de reeks zal gaan worden. Scenarist Patrick Melton, die de laatste drie delen en nu ook dit deel schreef, zegt dat het waarschijnlijk bij zeven delen blijft. Hij zei het volgende op de Engelse radiozender Demon FM:
I think its going to end with Saw VII. I have a very strong feeling its going to end with Saw VII. Thats something were debating now. You saw in previous interviews or discussions where we thought Saw VIII would be the last one where we had the first trilogy and the second trilogy and then sort of a grand finale wrapped up in two films. But frankly because Saw VI hasnt performed as well as we anticipated, the idea is well why make two movies when we can make one really excellent movie that wraps up as best we can? And its going to be in 3-D which sort of adds to the spectacle. So if you had to ask me, I dont own the franchise, nor do I run the studio, but I have a feeling, a strong feeling that its going to be Saw VII which will be also known as Endgame. And nothings official yet, but thats where were hoping things will go.
Als Saw VII een enorme zak geld binnenhaalt, bestaat de kans dat Lionsgate Saw VIII alsnog gewoon groen licht geeft. Feit is echter dat Saw VI het niet zo goed heeft gedaan; misschien is de wereld wel een beetje klaar met Saw.
Saw VII is op 31 december te zien in de Nederlandse bioscopen.
