Immediately following the 2017 cancellation of "Chicago Justice," Joelle Carter's next gigs included playing Megan Mitchell in the TV series "The Rookie" in 2018 and Sunny Daniels in the TV movie "Salvage." Also beginning in 2018, Carter took on the dual roles of Yvonne Newsome and Denise Meehan-Shepard in the anthology series "Dirty John," appearing in five episodes.

Just before small roles in films including "She's in Portland" and "Punching and Stealing," Carter returned to the "One Chicago" universe in 2020, but not in her former guise as Laura Nagel. Instead, she played drug addict Lynne Driscoll in a one-off appearance in the "Chicago Med" episode "Guess It Doesn't Matter Anymore." Then, in 2020 and 2021, she portrayed school principal Kim Collins in all 20 episodes of the Apple TV+ mystery series "Home Before Dark." Currently, Carter is on tap to play Helen Hill in the baseball biopic "The Hill," now in post-production.

So for fans wondering what she's been up to recently, this sums up the apparently full acting schedule of Joelle Carter following the cancellation of "Chicago Justice."
