Career

After appearances in One Dollar and Gotham, Pidgeon was cast in Amazon Prime Video series The Wilds in 2019.[3][4] In the young adult survivalist series she played the “mature and intellectual” Leah.[5] Her performance was said in Collider to display her characters “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.”[6]

In August 2022 Pidgeon was announced to have been cast in television series Tiny Beautiful Things.[7] 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”.[8] 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.”[9] Portraying Clare’s experiences it has been said that “Pidgeon balances grief, love, and maturity in a truly gentle yet striking way.”[10] Pidgeon described the character as “extremely volatile and destructive. She's very sure of what she says and how she feels.”[11]
