Beginning in 2011, Roden starred in the MTV teen supernatural drama Teen Wolf, where she played Lydia Martin, a popular, intelligent girl at Beacon Hills High School who eventually discovers that she possesses the supernatural abilities of a banshee. In 2016, it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Teen Wolf would end in 2017 after the completion of its sixth season.[7]
On May 25, 2017, Roden was cast as the lead in the third season of Syfy's horror anthology series Channel Zero, titled Butcher's Block. She portrayed Zoe Woods, a young woman who struggles with mental illness.[8][9] The show premiered on February 7, 2018.[10] On May 31, 2017, Roden was cast as the lead in the Amazon Prime Video horror anthology series Lore, in which she played the role of Bridget Cleary.[11] Lore premiered on October 13, 2017.[12]

In September 2021, it was announced that a reunion film for Teen Wolf had been ordered by Paramount+, with Jeff Davis returning as a screenwriter and executive producer of the film. The majority of the original cast members, including Roden, were set to reprise their roles.[17][18] The film was released on January 26, 2023.
Personal life
On May 17, 2019, Roden was detained by Brazilian officers at the São Paulo–Congonhas Airport, in São Paulo, Brazil. Immigration officials denied her entry into the country on the grounds that she had an invalid Brazilian visa. Roden claimed to have been treated as a criminal, and that the authorities also denied food and water to her, despite her having presented a valid passport and visa.[19][20] After about 24 hours of detention, she was allowed to enter the country.[21] She criticized the rigorous way she was treated: "After two years of traveling to Brazil with this passport and this visa with no problems, to meet fans and make friends, I am taken aback by the accusations and the treatment that faced me from the Brazilian police today. I am shocked that this is the same Brazil I know and love."[22]
