From 2000 to 2001, Sarah-Jane Potts had a 14-episode arc on the Keri Russell-starring drama, Felicity. The series followed its title character, Felicity (Russell), who, after graduating from high school, decides to change her college plans in order to follow her crush, Ben (Scott Speedman) to his post-high school plans in New York City. Potts played Molly, who came into the show in season 3.

In 2006, she then had a ten-episode arc on the British television series, Sugar Rush. This series centers on a 15-year-old lesbian, Kim Daniels (Olivia Hallinan), who, after moving from London to Brighton, develops a crush on a straight girl, Maria "Sugar" Sweet (Lenora Crichlow). Potts came into the show's orbit in season 2 as Saint, who becomes Kim's girlfriend.

Beginning in 2009, Potts had a recurring arc on Waterloo Road, a long-running BBC series. The show's title is the name of the high school where the action takes place; the series follows the everyday lives of the students and teachers. Potts played Jo Lipsett, a new Modern Languages teacher who comes in during the fifth season.
