Netflix is launching a unique music special called One Shot with Ed Sheeran, premiering November 21, 2025, which is being directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Philip Barantini best known for his real-time, single-take work on the series Adolescence. The project follows Sheeran on a single afternoon as he moves around New York City, performing chart-topping hits for unsuspecting fans in streets, sidewalks, and subway cars all captured in one continuous take. The experiential special aims to blend music and cinema in a groundbreaking way, showcasing Sheeran’s stage presence in a spontaneous, real-world setting rather than a traditional studio production.
