In 2019, after appearances in
One Dollar and
Gotham, Pidgeon was cast in
Amazon Prime Video series
The Wilds. In the young adult survivalist series, she played the "mature and intellectual" Leah. Her performance was said in
Collider to display her character's "obsession with figuring out the truth has her operating at an 11, fraught with tension, almost every single second of the show" and that: "Pidgeon's ability to hit that level and keep herself there with such raw intensity is remarkable." In August 2022, Pidgeon was announced to have been cast in the television series
Tiny Beautiful Things. She has received critical praise for her portrayal of the younger version of
Kathryn Hahn's character Clare, with
Lucy Mangan in
The Guardian describing the role as "brilliantly played". She has said that she and Hahn "had conversations about who Clare is, how her heart beats, and what energy she brings. A lot of that is in the writing as well." Portraying Clare's experiences, it has been said that: "Pidgeon balances grief, love, and maturity in a truly gentle yet striking way." Pidgeon described the character as "extremely volatile and destructive. She's very sure of what she says and how she feels." Pidgeon played Diana in the
David Adjmi play
Stereophonic, which first ran
Off-Broadway at
Playwrights Horizons, followed by a transfer on
Broadway at the
John Golden Theatre. Frank Rizzo of
Variety described her performance as "remarkable". Gloria Oladipo of
The Guardian described Pidgeon's performance as "precise", "vivid", and "gripping". She was nominated for the
2024 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play. In 2026, Pidgeon portrayed
Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in the first season of
Love Story, initially titled
American Love Story. ==Acting credits ==
