Darren Lynn Bousman‘s Spiral: From the Book of Saw had been set for release on May 15, 2020, but that was before the coronavirus changed everything. We were wondering if the Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson-starring film would instead be bumped to the Halloween season, the usual slot for Saw sequels, but unfortunately it’s been bumped way further than that.
Spiral will now release in theaters on May 21, 2021, over a year later than originally planned.
Check out an official statement below.

A sadistic mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in Spiral.
Working in the shadow of an esteemed police veteran (Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel “Zeke” Banks (Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game.
Spiral was written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, from a story by Chris Rock.
