Campbell rose to wider fame as lead character Julia Salinger in the teen drama series Party of Five, starring in the series from 1994 to 2000. She went on to star in movies such as The Craft, Scream (and its 2 sequels), Wild Things and Three to Tango. Following the end of the Scream series, Campbell's career became more low-key, appearing in movies such as Too Smooth and Investigating Sex which did not receive wide releases. She received wide plaudits from critics however for her role in Panic alongside William H. Macy and Donald Sutherland.

Despite pre-release publicity suggesting otherwise, Campbell did not break her tradition of having a no-nudity clause in her contract for the film. She did do so for When Will I Be Loved, released later in 2004.
