Underwood made her television debut in 2014 and gained attention for various guest and recurring roles in shows like Code Black, Henry Danger, Will vs the Future, and Criminal Minds. Her breakthrough came in 2020 when she starred as Pearl Warren—the daughter of Kerry Washington's character—in the critically acclaimed Hulu limited series Little Fires Everywhere, a role for which she received high praise and an NAACP Image Award nomination.
