February has been a strong month for Netflix thanks to the return of several fan-favorite shows. That said, standout Netflix original movies have been few and far between. In many ways, licensed films have been what kept the month entertaining, and it looks like history might repeat itself in March with a legendary horror franchise arriving on Netflix.

The streaming giant has finally revealed its complete list of shows and movies coming to its platform next month. While subscribers can expect popular shows such as One Piece, Virgin River, and Beauty in Black to return with new seasons, they can also expect most of the Saw franchise to make its way to Netflix. Horror fanatics, it's our time to shine!

This is not a joke. There will really be nine Saw films ready to stream back-to-back on Netflix very soon! Since there are currently 10 movies in the long-running horror franchise, that's basically every single film. But which one is missing?

Well, we'll start by sharing all the Saw movies that are confirmed to be coming to Netflix in March. That's Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw: The Final Chapter, Jigsaw, and Saw X. That leaves Spiral, the 2021 spinoff starring Chris Rock, as the only film not included in Netflix’s March lineup. Fans will have to turn to Hulu if they want to stream that horror flick, but for everyone else, Netflix will offer nearly the entire Saw saga in one place!

What's even more exciting is that each movie won't be released on different dates. Instead, all nine films will be available to stream at once. The official Netflix release date is Thursday, March 19, 2026. While it's unclear exactly when the movies will drop on the streaming platform, there's a possibility they may be released at 12:00 a.m. PT/3:00 a.m. ET on their release date. This is the typical release time that Netflix drops new content.

Created by filmmakers James Wan and Leigh Whannell, the Saw franchise has become one of the most iconic horror film series of the 21st century. Known for its shocking twists, grisly traps, and psychological thrills, the films follow the infamous Jigsaw killer as he puts his victims through deadly moral tests. Over the years, the franchise has built a loyal fanbase and a reputation for pushing the boundaries of horror cinema.

Its latest installment, Saw X, was received well by critics and viewers alike and was a major success. This led to the announcement of an eleventh film, but unfortunately, production has stalled, and no official release date has been set. Hopefully, this won’t be the end of Jigsaw’s story, and fans can look forward to more terrifying installments in the future. But for now, we'll just have to settle for bingeing nearly the entire Saw franchise on Netflix.
