Jean-Baptiste made her West End debut in London in Arthur Miller's All My Sons directed by Ivo Van Hove alongside Bryan Cranston; the production ran at Wyndham's Theatre until March 2026.
Jean-Baptiste received the Actress of the Year award from London Critics' Circle for her performance in the drama Hard Truths.
For her role in Hard Truths, Jean-Baptiste became the first woman of color to simultaneously win critics' awards from NYFCC, LAFCA, and National Society of Film Critics.
The film Hard Truths had its world premiere at the International Film Festival in Toronto in September 2024; Jean-Baptiste received a BAFTA nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
