The actress starred as a caseworker assigned to help soldiers transition back to civilian life on the first season of the Amazon series "Homecoming."
The show marked a new chapter in her career as she ventured into serial TV for the first time and perhaps said goodbye to the genre that made her a star.
Roberts told Entertainment Tonight in 2018 that she thinks she's had too much life experience to believably play a rom-com protagonist, to which she added, "Unless we [play] the parents of the people that are rom-com-ing."
"There came a point in my career where people thought I had turned on romantic comedies, which I love them, I love to be in them, I love to watch them," she said. "But sometimes, they just don't work at a certain point of life experience. It's not about age, it's just about what people know that you know."
In addition to appearing on a new series, Roberts returned to the big screen in the film "Ben Is Back" (2018) alongside Lucas Hedges.
