In 2013, she appeared in an episode of Vegas and began playing Rebecca Bowman, a rebellious Amish girl on the Cinemax series Banshee. She originally auditioned for the role of Deva Hopewell, but: "They said, 'She's too old or too sexy' or whatever". While in Philadelphia for her grandmother's funeral, the producers asked her to go back to New York to read for Rebecca, after which she won the role. In March that year, she appeared in a pictorial in Maxim magazine.
In 2014, Simmons began recurring roles on Hawaii Five-0, and the HBO series True Detective. In April 2016 she was cast in a recurring role in another HBO series, Westworld.
