In 2015, von Haselberg had a role in the Woody Allen film, Irrational Man. Allen stated, "She’s wonderful. She came in with a lot of other women that read and she’s the spitting image of her [mother] and she was just good... I thought she was so good that I combined her part. There was another part too and when I gave her the role, then I dropped the other character out of the movie and worked it so that she could have a double role, so could appear more frequently 'cause she was impressive… She projects intelligence because she’s intelligent."
Von Haselberg has been cast as series regular starring with Nicole Byer in MTV’s new unnamed Nicole Byer pilot. In October 2015, she started shooting Wizard Of Lies for HBO.Equity will be released toward the end of 2015 co-starring Von Haselberg and Anna Gunn.
