Shawnee Smith To Reprise Amanda Young In SAW X

Shawnee Smith in SAW X: Get ready to witness the return of Amanda Young in Lionsgate’s SAW X!

The Queen is back and ready to slay! Actress Shawnee Smith returns to the SAW franchise as Amanda Young in Lionsgate’s latest slasher flick, "SAW X."

The SAW franchise is reigniting after 6 years, and we will see Shawnee returning from a long hiatus to reprise her role as the emphatic apprentice to the menacing Jigsaw.

Nurtured under the notorious John Kramer’s wise tutelage, Shawnee’s Amanda seeks to make him proud by continuing his legacy.

Talking about her character in SAW 10, Shawnee Smith said, “I play Amanda Young. She's very smart. She's been wounded. And John Kramer brings her back to life—kind of like a doll that's been turned off—you know, she gets brought back to life. And she loves him. Like, wholeheartedly. And that's amazing, terrifying, and torture for someone like Amanda.”

Kevin Greutert added, “I was excited that Amanda was included in this story and that Shawnee Smith agreed to return, and in a significant way. It was an opportunity to go deeper into where she was at an earlier point in her relationship with John before her guilt, insecurities, and doubt corrupted her against Jigsaw’s work.

"In this story, we see Amanda’s manic cheekiness as well as her vulnerability and affection for John. But she has doubts about the violent and cruel aspect of the ‘work’ they are doing together," shared director Kevin Greutert.

SAW X features an ensemble cast of Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith, Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand, Renata Vaca, Michael Beach, Paulette Hernández, Octavio Hinojosa, and Joshua Okamoto.

Helmed by Kevin Greutert, the movie will be released by Lionsgate and PVRINOX Pictures in India on September 28, 2023.
