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.
