Comprising never-before-seen videos, interviews, intimate performances, and more, The Sum Of It All is said to show a side of Sheeran that the world has yet to see, as it reveals the man behind the music and the many hardships that lined his path.
“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," said Sheeran, in a press statement.
“Everyone in the world knows and loves Ed Sheeran’s songs, as he has been the soundtrack to so many moments of our lives. But this series of films shows the true man behind the hits, showing Ed in an entirely different way after a tumultuous year personally and professionally. This four-part series has been an honour for us to make," said producers Fulwell 73’s partners Ben Turner and Ben Winston.
The Sum Of It All comes ahead of Sheeran's upcoming album, Subtract (-) which drops on 5 May. The record, which is said to explore themes of personal grief and hope, comes as the final instalment of the singer's mathematical album era following 2021's = (Equals).
