Helfer began constructing and hosting Canada's Next Top Model on May 31, 2006, concurrent with her role in Battlestar Galactica. She appeared in Spiral and The Green Chain later this year.

Helfer did not return to host the second season of Canada's Next Top Model in October 2006 so she could focus on Battlestar Galactica.

Helfer played Number Six, a Humanoid Cylon agent. She continued to appear in the television show as a regular cast member in the fourth and final season on March 20, 2009. Due to the uniqueness of the Number Six character – there are several "copies" of Number Six with distinct personalities – Helfer has, in effect, appeared in various roles in the series. In 2009, she reprised her role as Number Six in Battlestar Galactica: The Plan – a television film that tells the tale from the Cylons' point of view. In 2012, she appeared as a prototype Cylon in the prequel Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome.
