Despite an impressive start, the series was officially cancelled by Fox on May 9, 2012, due to dropping viewership throughout its run.[6] However, Jones was featured in a May 2012 spread for Vanity Fair magazine, and she quickly returned to series television, being cast as a regular on Vegas.[7]

Other roles she has gained attention for, are Alison in the Hulu original series The Path, and Amelia Davenport in the USA Network TV series Damnation.
