Disney+ has announced a new Ed Sheeran documentary arriving this May.

From Fulwell 73 Productions (‘Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium,’ ‘Adele: One Night Only’), Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All will take viewers on a journey around the world spotlighting how an unlikely child with a stutter rose to fame to become one of the biggest global music superstar.

For the first time, Ed Sheeran opens the doors to a definitive and honest view into his private life as he explores the themes that inspire his music, divided into four episodes titled Love, Loss, Focus and Balance. This series follows Ed after he learns of life-changing news and reveals his hardships and triumphs during the most challenging period of his life. Blending exclusive, never-before-seen personal archive, interviews with his wife and loved ones and intimate performances in cinematic locations, the series widens the lens to unearth what Sheeran thinks of the world, of himself and his music.

“In this docu-series, we’re going to reveal a side of Ed Sheeran that fans have never seen before,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television. “Together with Fulwell 73, we’ve created something truly authentic and personal that will not only entertain audiences but also inspire them to dream big and pursue their passions.”

“I’ve always been very guarded in my personal and private life; the only documentary I’ve ever made has been one that focused on my songwriting,” said Sheeran. “Disney approached me to make a four-part documentary, and it felt like the right time to open the door and let people in. I hope people enjoy it.”

The film will premiere on Disney+ on 3rd May, two days before his sixth studio album, -, is released.
