He has received numerous accolades, including an Emmy Award, as well as nominations for three Academy Awards and a Grammy Award. He has received Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score for Barry Jenkins's Moonlight (2016), If Beale Street Could Talk (2018), and Adam McKay's Don't Look Up (2021). He also scored McKay's The Big Short (2015) and Vice (2018). He is also known for scoring Battle of the Sexes (2017), The King (2019), Cruella (2021), and She Said (2022). The HBO original series Succession (2018–2023) marked Britell's entry into television. Britell scored all four seasons, earning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music in 2019. His scores for the second, third, and fourth seasons of Succession each earned the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series nominations in 2020, 2022, and 2023. His score for The Underground Railroad was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie or Special in 2021. His works, as described by Soraya McDonald of Film Comment, "seem to organically straddle accessibility and sophistication in a way that goes beyond the typical programming of a big-city pops orchestra...That might have something to do with the fact that Britell has long had one foot in the world of hip-hop and another in the world of classical music."

Shortly after her return, she discovers she has the ability to rewind time after saving her estranged best friend, Chloe Price, from a deadly encounter. As Max struggles to control her newfound powers, she reconnects with Chloe and embarks on a mission to unravel the mystery of Rachel Amber, Chloe's missing friend. Along the way, Max faces difficult moral decisions, all while navigating high school drama, strained friendships, and the dark secrets buried within the town.
