Now streaming online, the special features four episodes, titled “Love,” “Loss,” “Focus,” and finally “Balance,” and includes behind-the-scenes footage of Sheeran performing on stage, writing and recording music, and interviews with friends and family.
The docuseries digs deep into Sheeran’s personal life as well, including the loss of his late best friend and music entrepreneur, Jamal Edwards. “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,” Sheeran shared in a statement for the documentary announcement, adding that “it felt like the right time to open the door and let people in. I hope people enjoy it.”
“In this docuseries, we’re going to reveal a side of Ed Sheeran that fans have never seen before,” Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, said in a statement.

“I had been working on Subtract for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be,” Sheeran wrote of the project earlier this spring. “Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art.”
