In 2017, she played Vicki Charmichael in the second season of Netflix's Stranger Things.[3] From 2017 to 2018, she played Mia Tanner in CBS's Wisdom of the Crowd. In 2018, she portrayed Eliza Hunter in Freeform's The Fosters, followed by Ricochet in YouTube's The Power Couple. In 2020, she made her film debut as Adrienne with I Still Believe.

In 2021, Cowen starred as Fiona in Witch Hunt.[7] On being asked whether the lessons she learnt on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina came in handy, she said “I feel like this film is so different. Yes, it is witchcraft, but they're very different characters. But just the magical element, I guess using my imagination in certain scenarios, you could say I was kind of used to. But it definitely was a completely different character, completely different type of project to tackle for me, which is fun and it was a challenge.”[8] Next, she starred as Angel in Redeeming Love.[9]
