She followed this with another made-for-television movie entitled Black Widow, in which she played a woman suspected of killing her husbands for their money.

In 2008, she starred in a series of CSI: Miami episodes, playing Horatio Caine's ex-lover Julia Winston. The episodes on which she appeared were so highly rated that she will be returning for season seven in the fall.

Berkley also hosts Bravo's reality series, Step It Up and Dance, a competition featuring ten dance hopefuls who compete against each other to win $100,000 as well as the chance to work with and perform for some of the country's top choreographers.
