Pedretti began film acting appearing in two independent short films in 2014. In 2018, she had her breakthrough for her portrayal of Eleanor "Nell" Crain Vance in the Netflix horror series The Haunting of Hill House.[2] Her performance was praised by critics, with Netflix stating "If this is the depth of talent Victoria Pedretti has shown us in merely three years, just imagine what the future holds." She earned Saturn Award and MTV Award nominations in 2019 for the role.[11]

In 2017, Pedretti auditioned for the role of Guinevere Beck on the Netflix thriller series You;[12] although she was initially rejected, the directors later cast her as Love Quinn in the show's second season after seeing her previous acting work and her chemistry with her co-star Penn Badgley.[5][9][13][14] The second season was released on December 26, 2019,[15] with Pedretti's performance and the show being received positively.[16][17][18] She will reprise her role for the third season,[19] scheduled for release sometime in 2021.[20][21] In 2019, Pedretti appeared as Leslie Van Houten in Quentin Tarantino's comedy-drama film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,[22] which was a commercial success.[23]

In 2020, Pedretti guest-starred in the anthology series Amazing Stories as Evelyn Porter,[24] and in the same year starred as Katherine in the biographical-drama film Shirley, the latter of which received positive reviews from critics.[25][26] Also in 2020, she portrayed Danielle "Dani" Clayton on the Netflix series The Haunting of Bly Manor, the second season in the anthology series to The Haunting of Hill House.[27][28][29] The series and Pedretti's performance received critical acclaim, with The Hollywood Reporter writing that her performance "generates instant empathy".
