He was also the lead Producer on Lambs of God, a gothic miniseries which now ranks as one of Australian TV's most successful drama exports. Starring Emmy Award-winner Ann Dowd, Essie Davis and Jessica Barden, the series premiered in Official Competition at Series Mania in Lille. Lambs of God received a record-breaking 18 nominations and nine wins at the AACTAs.

Other recent credits include: The Secrets She Keeps starring Laura Carmichael and Jessica de Gouw (which after being acquired by the BBC was their highest Monday night launch of the year); On the Ropes starring Keisha Castle Hughes and Nicole Chamoun; and Wake in Fright starring David Wenham.

These shows were produced under the Lingo Pictures umbrella, a company that Jason formed with Helen Bowden in 2015.
