Afterward, Stone was subsequently cast in the pilot episode of the CW series Emily Owens, M.D.; the third season of AMC's The Killing; and a number of Canadian-produced independent films.

In addition to her Young Artist Award, she has received several other film accolades. For her role in the feature Wet Bum, Stone was named a Toronto International Film Festival Rising Star in 2014, won the Leo Award in 2015, and was nominated for a Vancouver Film Critics Circle Award. Her performance in the 2016 film The Unseen earned her an additional nomination from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle. In 2019, she won a second Leo Award for her work in the dramatic film Honey Bee.
