He also served as producer for the film ''[[January Man]]'' (1989), executive producer for the Canadian movie ''[[Dance Me Outside]]'', and branched back into television both as director and producer, including the [[TNT (U.S. TV network)|TNT]] biographical film ''[[Geronimo (TV film)|''Geronimo'']]'' (1993) and the series ''[[The Rez]]'' (1996–1998).<ref name="TNT">{{cite web|url=https://www.tcm.com/this-month/article/236961 |title=TNT Norman Jewison Profile |publisher=Turner Classic Movies |date=March 14, 1999 |access-date=June 4, 2011}}</ref>

''[[The Hurricane (1999 film)|The Hurricane]]'' (1999) was Jewison's third film to explore the effects of racism, telling the story of boxer [[Rubin "Hurricane" Carter]], who had been falsely convicted for a triple murder in [[New Jersey]] during the mid-1960s.

In 1999, Jewison's work was recognised by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences when he was given the [[Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award]] for lifetime achievement. Jewison continued directing and producing up until his last film to be released, the 2003 thriller ''[[The Statement (film)|The Statement]]'', based on a novel by [[Brian Moore (novelist)|Brian Moore]] starring [[Michael Caine]]. That same year his autobiography ''This Terrible Business Has Been Good to Me'' was published, expressing the enthusiasm, conviction, and creative passion that sustained his career.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://library.vicu.utoronto.ca/collections/special_collections/f56_norman_jewison|title=Special Collections: Norman Jewison|website=Victoria University Library|publisher=[[University of Toronto]]|access-date=March 18, 2015}}</ref>

Describing the key characteristic of the films he made, he once said: "I want people to recognise themselves in the movies I make. I don't enjoy no-brainer action movies."<ref>{{cite news |title=Norman Jewison: Renowned Canadian film director dies at 97 |work=BBC News |date=January 22, 2024 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68064514 |access-date=January 22, 2024}}</ref>
