In 2015, Jackson pitched television prospects to six different networks. Among them was Power, a Starz drama for which Jackson serves as a co‐star, co-creator, and executive producer. Jackson signed a two-year contract with Starz, with representation coming from the Agency for the Performing Arts. By the following year, ratings have proved successful for the network.
Following his dissatisfaction with the Starz network, Jackson and Fox entered a non-exclusive broadcast direct deal to develop scripted dramas, live-action comedies and animated series through his production company G-Unit Film & Television. In 2023, Jackson purchased an in-house production facility (of which was previously known as Millennium Studios) for the company, in a lease agreement with the city of Shreveport, Louisiana.
