In 2021, Wilde made her television debut as Scout in the Stan drama series Eden. Wilde said that it was the "first audition where she had gut-certainty that it was the right role". Later that year, she starred as Kyra opposite Samuel Adewunmi in the BBC three-part series You Don't Know Me. To prepare for the role, Wilde practised her English accent by watching and listening to British actresses such as Michaela Coel.
