Career

In 2014, Brielle made her television debut on

TNT's The Librarians and in 2016, she appeared in Fox's short-lived Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life
.

In 2017, Brielle was cast as Sarika, "a career-driven student who's constantly trying to do everything right and climb the ladder" in the NBC comedy A.P. Bio, which premiered in 2018.[6][7]

Brielle also stars as Lorna Reddy in Dead Girls Detective Agency, one of several new digital shows produced by NBCUniversal and Snap Inc. as part of their Snap Originals series.[8] The first season began airing October 22, 2018, with a new episode available for viewing every day.[9] Dead Girls Detective Agency was renewed for a third and fourth season and began airing new episodes on August 11, 2019.

In early 2019, Brielle joined

Jennifer Schwalbach, and Eliza Dushku; however, the girls are not international jewel thieves, and their specific grouping was set up as a commentary on youth and diversity being a common focal-point in Hollywood's reboots and remakes.[10]

On May 12, 2020, it was revealed that Brielle had landed the starring role of the sequel to Mallrats as Banner Bruce, daughter of Brodie Bruce (Jason Lee) and Rene Mosier (Shannen Doherty). This marks her second collaboration with Kevin Smith, who said, "I was so impressed with Aparna Brielle, I built [Twilight of the Mallrats] around her."[11]

In August 2021, Brielle joined the cast of Netflix's Boo, Bitch in the role of Riley, who is described as "a mean girl who disguises her meanness through calculated manipulation. Riley has made Erika’s life miserable ever since their freshman year."[12] The mini-series aired on July 8, 2022.

Netflix announced that Brielle would join the cast of their Arnold Schwarzenegger-led spy series FUBAR in April 2022. Brielle plays Tina, "an NSA analyst on loan to the CIA. Despite her youth, she is very good at her job – extremely capable and intelligent, though a bit intimidated by her new colleagues."[13]
