In the 2022 Peacock television series The Resort , Bloomgarden plays Violet Thompson a tourist who disappeared in 2007 on holiday with her dad played by Nick Offerman, with her disappearance investigated 15 years later by Cristin Milioti and William Jackson Harper.

[1] On set she described how she and co-star Skyler Gisondo were able to throw ideas around and improvise a little with the blessing of show creator Andy Siara. [4] Bloomgarden described the familial atmosphere of filming in Puerto Rico saying they were like one big "TV family". [5] Bloomgarden told Grazia magazine that The Resort is “Jurassic Park meets the Twilight Zone” and said the complexity of the story “drew me in”. Bloomgarden also completed principal photography, for a planned 2022 release, for the film Jane alongside Madelaine Petsch, Chloe Bailey and Melissa Leo. [6]

In 2024, Bloomgarden starred in the sci-thriller film It's What's Inside , written and directed by Greg Jardin., playing as Maya.
