The first was Calpurnia, a Vancouver-based rock band, in which he played guitar, was the lead vocalist, and the group's main songwriter. In 2018, Calpurnia released a six-song EP. After Calpurnia disbanded in 2019, Wolfhard joined The Aubreys in 2020. In 2021, The Aubreys released their first full-length album, Karaoke Alone .

After co-directing the music video for Spendtime Palace's "Sonora" in 2017, Finn Wolfhard made his directorial debut in 2020 with the comedy short film Night Shifts , which he also wrote. The film won Best Director at the 2020 Atlanta ShortsFest. His feature film debut came with the horror-comedy Hell of a Summer (2023), which he co-wrote and co-directed with Billy Bryk. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and was a finalist for the Audience Award in the Midnight Madness section.

Finn Wolfhard has stated that his appearance in the 2014 music video for PUP's song "Guilt Trip" was a pivotal step in his career. The success he achieved at an open audition motivated him to pursue it, and his appearance in the video was included in his audition material for Stranger Things . He subsequently appeared in other music videos, including Weezer's cover of a-ha's 1984 hit "Take on Me." Foreshadowing his later success, some of Wolfhard's early roles were in science fiction, horror, and paranormal productions, including the television series The 100 (2014) and Supernatural (2015). His breakout film role was as Richie Tozier in the 2017 adaptation of Stephen King's novel It , a character he reprised in It Chapter Two (2019). Wolfhard's career has been characterized by his participation in projects that are either remakes of films and television shows from the 1980s or new productions that pay homage to American audiovisual culture of that era. These include Stranger Things (2016-present), It (2017), and Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021). For this reason, he has been closely linked to the current interest—typical of Generations X and Millennials —in nostalgia for 1980s pop culture. In the field of voice acting, Wolfhard has participated in 32 episodes of the animated series Carmen Sandiego (2019-2021), as well as in the animated feature films The Addams Family (2019) and Pinocchio , by Guillermo del Toro (2022).
