Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All documentary release date and time on Disney+

Disney+ is set to drop a brand-new documentary exploring the life of global superstar Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All will see the Shape of You singer open the doors to a definitive and searingly honest view into his private life as he explores the universal themes that inspire his music.

The four-part series follows Ed after he learns of life-changing news and reveals his hardships and triumphs during the most challenging period of his life. It comprises exclusive, never-before-seen footage and authentic interviews with his wife and loved ones, plus intimate performances in cinematic locations.

Speaking to Disney ahead of the series launch, Ed said: “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. Disney approached me to make a documentary, and it felt like the right time to open the door and let people in.”
