The England hooker received strongest interest from Top 14 giants Clermont, but has opted to stay put in north London.
Full-back Elliot Daly has also completed new terms with the Men In Black, in a double coup for Mark McCall’s men.
The 32-year-old George now has the chance to become a genuine one-club man, having come through Saracens’ academy to make 263 club appearances, to sit alongside his 72 England caps and three Lions bows.
“When making this decision, I reflected back on what an incredible journey it has been with some truly inspiring people,” said George.
“The thing that excites me most going forward is that there is so much more to come and I am very passionate about being a part of that.”
Versatile back Daly joined Saracens from Wasps in 2019 and has hit stellar form again this term.
“I have loved every minute of being part of this club since I joined so it was an easy decision to re-sign,” said Daly.
“The coaches and players are building towards something special and I’m so happy to be part of the journey moving forward.”
Saracens rugby director Mark McCall hailed the new deals for both George and Daly.
“Jamie represents everything good about the club and we are of course delighted that he has re-signed with us,” he said.
“His influence on the group both on and off the pitch is enormous and it is brilliant news that he will remain at Saracens.
“Elliot is a huge part of our group, he brings a fantastic amount of energy every day to training, his performances have been consistently outstanding and we are thrilled he has extended his stay at the club.”
