The Lighthouse is the story of two Lighthouse keepers, Thomas Howell and Thomas Griffith who were stranded on The Smalls Islands; a small cluster of rocks approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. Michael also starred as Thomas Howell opposite Welsh actor Mark Lewis Jones. The feature film was written and then selected by the Welsh Ffilm Cymru emerging talent scheme Cinematic and awarded a budget of £300,000 in conjunction with the British Film Institute (BFI), BBC Films, S4C and Soda Pictures. The film received a cinematic release in Wales and was released on DVD and VOD in 2016 in the UK, receiving positive reviews. "The Lighthouse is a welcome beacon of quality in a genre often happy to rely on cheap tricks and easy scares and offers so much more, amply rewarding those who are willing to embrace its blunt and brittle world" – Starburst'
Later in 2015 Michael gained rave reviews for portraying the English military officer Myles Standish in Saints & Strangers, a U.S. TV movie event for the National Geographic Channel and Sony Pictures. The Hollywood Reporter said – "The mini's MVP, however, is Michael Jibson as the Pilgrims' iconic military adviser, Myles Standish. His commanding performance strikes just the right balance between the mythical and the credible, as if he somehow instilled an animatronic Disneyland automaton with a stirringly virile essence". Saints & Strangers chronicled the real story of the Pilgrims: their harrowing voyage from England to America aboard the Mayflower and settling in Plymouth, Massachusetts; vying to survive in the harsh climate; their struggles with the local tribes, and celebrating their first Thanksgiving with the natives, the Pokanoket people, in 1621. It starred an ensemble including Vincent Kartheiser, Anna Camp, Ron Livingston, Barry Sloane, Brían F. O'Byrne, Natascha McElhone and Ray Stevenson. It was directed by Paul A. Edwards.
