Göransson transitioned into dramatic work, scoring the Disney+ series The Mandalorian (2019–2020), for which he earned two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score). He also composed the main theme for The Book of Boba Fett (2021–2022).
For his work in film, he has earned three Academy Awards for Best Original Score, for Ryan Coogler's superhero film Black Panther (2018), Christopher Nolan's biopic Oppenheimer (2023), and Coogler's horror film Sinners (2025).
