He served as a consulting producer on Joss Whedon's television series Dollhouse. In May 2014, DeKnight reportedly took over show running duties for the first season of the Netflix exclusive television series Daredevil from Drew Goddard, after Goddard's departure due to scheduling conflicts with directing Sinister Six.

In 2015, DeKnight joined the Transformers Cinematic Universe franchise's writers room, where Paramount Pictures hired multiple noted screenwriters to flesh out the film series' future.

On September 16, 2019, it was confirmed that DeKnight departed the series as a showrunner over creative differences amid the first season's production. On April 15, 2019, DeKnight joined a host of other writers in firing their agents as part of the WGA's stand against the ATA and the practice of packaging. In November 2023, Starz greenlighted the new 10-episode drama series Spartacus: House of Ashur with the return of DeKnight to the franchise, serving as showrunner and executive producer.
