Netflix is giving horror fans a major reason to stay inside this spring. On March 19, 2026, the streaming giant will officially add the first 10 films from the Saw franchise to its U.S. catalog. This licensing deal with Lionsgate marks a significant boost for the platform's horror library as it continues to lean into established cinematic universes to retain subscribers.

The collection spans over two decades of traps and puzzles, including the original 2004 Saw directed by James Wan and the 2023 critical success Saw X. However, there is one notable omission for completionists. According to reports from CNET and IGN, the 2021 spin-off Spiral: From the Book of Saw, which starred Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson, is not part of this specific streaming agreement.

While Netflix often prioritizes global originals, Collider notes that this rollout is currently confirmed only for the United States library. This move follows a broader industry trend where streamers like Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery negotiate domestic licensing windows for high-value franchises to supplement their original programming during peak viewing seasons.
