Upon graduating from RADA, Mylchreest was cast in open-air productions of the Shakespeare plays Romeo & Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Abbey Wood. In 2022, he made his television debut in the premiere episode of the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.[5]

Also in 2022, it was announced Mylchreest would star as a young, fictionalised version of King George III in the period drama prequel miniseries Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, which was released on Netflix in May 2023.[6][7] Karama Horne of TheWrap was appreciative of the chemistry between Mylchreest and India Amarteifio (who played the title role of Queen Charlotte) and added that he "does a beautiful job wandering through the wilderness of King George’s mind without being campy".[8]
