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).

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."

It has been a year since the Battle of Endor. The Rebel Alliance has regrouped on Chandrila, with Mon Mothma working tirelessly to form what will soon become the New Republic. However, in the wake of her efforts, the Empire continues to wage war on the Republic; taking over star systems, stripping them of their resources, and, most importantly, their freedom. Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, the new leader of the Galactic Empire, mobilizes the remaining admirals and officers to the planet Kuat. There, she begins preparations for the Emperor’s final plan: Operation Cinder. During her campaign, Sloane sends out spies, assassins, and saboteurs, allowing the Empire to strike from within and cripple the growing power of the Rebellion. As a result, Mon Mothma sends her three most trusted confidants: Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo to investigate the pressing manner. The famed trio travels across numerous worlds, encountering dangerous smugglers, ruthless gangsters, and war-torn planets in search of the source behind these attacks. But as they draw closer to the truth, one question remains: do they truly want to know what’s waiting at the end?
