==Career==
From 2001 to 2002, Shawkat played Hannah in ''[[State of Grace (TV series)|State of Grace]]''. As [[Maeby Fünke]], Shawkat was a regular cast member of ''[[Arrested Development]]'' for the entire run of the show from 2003 to 2019. The series received nearly universally positive reviews, with Shawkat's performance occasionally singled out for praise. Pop-culture commentator Brian M. Palmer remarked that she was "one of the brightest lights on a show populated solely by bright lights",<ref>{{cite web|title = Interview with Brian M.

Club]]'' in 2010, Shawkat remarked that many of her "formative moments" as an actress took place on the ''Arrested Development'' set: "[Show creator] [[Mitchell Hurwitz|Mitch Hurwitz]] was like a father figure to me. In a way, it was great to be around [the cast], because I feel that my understanding of comedy was able to grow really well during that time."<ref name="Interview">{{cite news|title = Interview|newspaper = The A.V.

In 2009, Shawkat appeared in ''[[Whip It (film)|Whip It]]'' co-star [[Har Mar Superstar]]'s music video for "Tall Boy", which also featured [[Eva Mendes]] and [[Eric Wareheim]]. In October 2009, it was announced that Shawkat, Har Mar, and ''Whip It'' co-star [[Elliot Page]] would produce and write a show for [[HBO]] called ''Stitch N' Bitch''.<ref name="Interview"/> According to ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'', the show "follows two painfully cool hipsters as they relocate from Brooklyn's [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn|Williamsburg]] neighborhood to Los Angeles' [[Silver Lake, Los Angeles|Silver Lake]] enclave in hopes of becoming artists—of any kind."<ref>{{cite news|title = Ellen Page, Arrested Development's Alia Shawkat, and Har Mar Superstar (!) working on HBO show|newspaper = The A.V.

Six years after the series was canceled by Fox, filming for a revived fourth season of ''Arrested Development'' began on August 7, 2012, and Shawkat reprised her role as Maeby Fünke. The season consists of 15 new episodes, which debuted simultaneously on [[Netflix]] on May 26, 2013.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Savage |first=Lesley |date=2013-04-04 |title=Fourth season of "Arrested Development" gets release date - CBS News |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fourth-season-of-arrested-development-gets-release-date/ |access-date=2024-02-04 |website=www.cbsnews.com |language=en-US}}</ref> Each episode focuses on one particular character, with Shawkat's Maeby, now a high school senior, featured in episode 12, "Señoritis," and appearing in several other episodes of the season.

Shawkat appears briefly in [[Ryan Trecartin]]'s 2013 art film, ''Center Jenny''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Center Jenny, 2013 Ryan Trecartin |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlbdGAen-S0 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/tlbdGAen-S0| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|access-date=July 7, 2020|website=Youtube| date=July 18, 2018 }}{{cbignore}}</ref>

In 2015, Shawkat guest-starred on ''[[Broad City]]'', portraying the romantic interest and look-alike of [[Ilana Glazer]]'s character for one episode; the two were attracted to one another due only to their similar appearances. Leading up to the episode, many had remarked on the physical similarities Shawkat and Glazer bear to one another.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.salon.com/2015/03/12/alia_shawkat_on_her_hot_broad_city_doppelganger_romance_it_was_one_of_the_best_makeout_scenes_that_i've_had/|title=Alia Shawkat on her hot "Broad City" doppelgänger romance: "It was one of the best makeout scenes that I've had"|work=Salon.com|first=Anna|last=Silman|date=March 12, 2015|access-date=November 7, 2015}}</ref>

In 2019, Shawkat starred in the film ''[[Animals (2019 film)|Animals]]'' (directed by [[Australia]]n director [[Sophie Hyde]]) as Tyler, a high-living American partier in Dublin.

She was "excited to play someone who was so fun, but so damaged".<ref>{{cite web|publisher=The Adelaide Review|url=https://www.adelaidereview.com.au/arts/cinema/alia-shawkat-animals/|title=Animals star Alia Shawkat is not your ingenue|first=Walter|last=Marsh|date=April 3, 2019|access-date=April 3, 2019}}</ref>
