Watching Saw in order is extremely easy, as the most recommended way to do so is the same as the release order of the films, outside of one new change to this formula. The newly revealed Saw X will take place between the first and second films, so if you are wary of this, watching the other movies shouldn’t be a tough task.

  • Saw (2004)
  • Saw X (2023)
  • Saw II (2005)
  • Saw III (2006)
  • Saw IV (2007)
  • Saw V (2008)
  • Saw VI (2009)
  • Saw: The Final Chapter (2010)
  • Jigsaw (2017)
  • Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

Jigsaw is another film in the series that can cause a stir in the timeline. Chronologically, this movie is the first film in the run as well as the second to last. This is thanks to the film boasting two separate sections set at different times. The best way to add this into the watch order is to put it toward the end so nothing from the numbered films gets spoiled early.
