If they want to make another Saw movie, they should remove all the police stuff and focuses on only those playing the game. Also we don't need any twists or even need to know who is behind the game, just bring Tobin Bell back if he is up to it for the voice role and have the puppet as well. Have the story be about a team of people trying to survive the game or one person who game involves others in traps, hell could even build on the whole doing the trap in public like the intro to Saw 3d if they wanted. Knowing less about something is normally better when it comes to horror and the Saw series need to start following that rule.
Also if they are going to keep doing spin off stuff why not set it in another country, I mean if it all copycats now, why does it even need to just take place in America. Having the Mexican cartel be in the game or Russian gangsters could be fun.
Truth is all these movies have low budget and don't need to make huge money at the cinema to be profitable, plus got dvd/blu ray sales, and tv/streaming licensing fees which add even more money on top of it. However the series "died" due to Saw 6's boxoffice in sales compared to Saw 5 dropping by about $60 million for a total box office of $68.2 million, it had a budget of $11 million so would be shocked if it wasn't profitable but it is clear fatigue hit in and didn't have much profitability left with marketing and other costs if they kept at it, so they did what every other big horror movie series does at some point, make one and market it as being the final one, and it worked with Saw 3D grossing nearly $140 million world wide. What has changed is Lionsgate don't have many ips and these movies are cheap most around $10 million to make with it maxing out at $20 million, so they tried another with Jigsaw and it made money. So expect a new one every few years but not to the point of it being yearly to avoid fatigue again, and they won't stop even with Spiral low box office which no doubt they will blame on covid which is one of the reasons for it's low gross especially overseas, but the biggest reasons is meh word of mouth from fans and being up against much bigger horror movies like A Quiet Place Part II and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It cutting off any legs the movie may have had.
