That same year, he played Aeneas, in the BBC ONE & Netflix TV miniseries Troy: Fall of a City. The following year, Enoch took the leading role 'Jamie McCain' in BBC drama Trust Me, series 2.
In 2020, Enoch returned for two episodes of How to Get Away with Murders sixth season but in the separate role of the adult version of Christopher Castillo, Wes' son. That same year, he played Antônio in Executive Order and Ryan in Tigers.
In 2021, he played Romeo in a production of Romeo and Juliet at the Globe Theatre in London, Raych Seldon in Apple TV+ science fiction series Foundation, and Harry Wotton in a 2021 adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
