G-Unit Films and Television Inc.

G-Unit Films and Television Inc. (originally known as G-Unit Films) is an American film and television production company founded by rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson in 2003. The company produced documentaries based on the upbringing of Jackson or his affiliates. In 2008, Jackson founded a successor company, Cheetah Vision, in a joint venture with Randall Emmett, temporarily closing G-Unit Films until its revival in 2010, under the name G-Unit Films and Television Inc. 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 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 (which was known as Millennium Studios) for the company, in a lease agreement with the city of Shreveport, Louisiana.
