Her career steadily progressed with television appearances on ABC’s “A Million Little Things” in 2022 and Lifetime’s “Doomsday Mom” in 2021. In 2021, she also appeared in Netflix’s “Honey Girls.”

A significant milestone in Ratzlaff’s acting career was her lead role as ‘Rachel’ in Lifetime’s 2022 film “An Amish Sin.” This role, inspired by true events, allowed her to showcase her dramatic range and dedication to impactful storytelling. She further joined the cast of Freeform’s award-winning series “Cruel Summer” for its second season in 2023. Beyond acting, Dylan continues to be involved in the dance world as a teacher and judge for dance competitions across Canada, balancing her dual passions for acting and dance.
