Does Saw X Have A Post-Credits Scene?

The Saw franchise returns with another story focused on John Kramer, but does Saw X have a post-credits scene teasing more? The tenth installment in the horror franchise comes two years after the last entry, which marked the first to not include Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw. Saw X brings John Kramer back for his biggest role yet, as the movie goes back to nearly the beginning of the series to make Bell’s character the hero of the story. In doing so, when Saw X is set in the timeline puts the franchise in a rather unique position when considering the future. The prequel movie takes place before Kramer’s ultimate demise.

Although Saw X might come before a majority of the Saw movies chronologically, the movie still has the ability to set up and connect to the franchise’s future, whether that is in regard to movies that are already made or a potential Saw 11. The franchise has a knack for leaving the door open for more installments to be made in some fashion, but the movies have never used a post-credits scene to do so. The practice has become much more popular in Hollywood over the years, making it seem likely that it was only a matter of time before the Saw movies would include an after-credits scene.

Saw X Does Have A Post-Credits Scene

It is officially confirmed that Saw X does have a post-credits scene. This makes it the first Saw movie with an end-credits scene that audiences can elect to wait around for. Without getting into spoilers about what the scene contains, it is known that there is a bonus tag after the credits finish that connects to the overall franchise. Waiting for the post-credits scene gives audiences a chance to see the names of the writers, actors, and other crew members who worked hard to make the movie possible. There is not a mid-credits scene in addition to the after-credits tease.

Is Saw X’s Post-Credits Scene Worth Waiting For?

It is safe to say that fans of the Saw franchise do not want to miss the Saw X end-credits scene. The tag builds on the movie’s ending and continues the story for a key character. It also includes massive connections to the overall Saw universe. Considering the movie brings back John Kramer and Amanda (Shawnee Smith) after both of their deaths in Saw III for the prequel story, the possibility to set up where the franchise goes next was always high. The post-credits scene connects to stories audiences already know and leaves the door open for new adventures too.

The potential implications that the after-credits scene has on the future of the Saw franchise means that those who are heavily invested in the franchise cannot afford to miss this. After all, this is a first for the franchise in terms of having a post-credits scene. Whether the teased story actually happens or not depends on Saw‘s box office presumably, as the movie needs to be a success for the studio to want to make more. If it doesn’t happen, then Saw X will leave audiences with the promise of an unfulfilled story.
