The couple appeared in an episode of Simon Rich’s Miracle Workers comedy series on TBS in 2021, and Radcliffe claimed they plan to keep acting together:

“We definitely like [working together], but it’s not something we want to do all the time. We obviously met on film and so getting to do stuff on Miracle Workers with her last year was incredibly special and felt lovely. Hopefully we’ll get to do more in the future, but we also both write, so maybe we’d write something together at some point, and that would be cool.”
