The tenth film in the series will be set between Saw (2004) and its sequel Saw II (2005). So, it is a direct sequel to the first film in the franchise and a prequel to the second. The film’s full synopsis reads:

“Set between the events of Saw and Saw II, a sick and desperate John Kramer travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer — only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, the infamous serial killer returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through devious, deranged, and ingenious traps.”
