An ambitious musical experience is on the way. Philip Barantini, director of the popular Netflix limited series Adolescence has teamed up with Grammy award winner Ed Sheeran for a single-take musical experience titled ONE SHOT with Ed Sheeran for Netflix. It will be available for streaming on November 21.
The music documentary will have Sheeran moving through New York City while performing his best tracks.
According to Netflix, "Sheeran will take viewers along as he spends one afternoon traveling the streets of the Big Apple while performing his greatest hits — playing impromptu gigs on sidewalks and the subway, interacting with fans and unsuspecting passersby, and more. And it’ll all be captured in a single take."
Barantini has by now proved himself as a master of single-take storytelling, having previously employed the approach in another Stephen Graham-starrer Boiling Point, a feature film depicting the workings of a restaurant. He later directed the four-episode sequel series of the same name, co-created by Graham.
Adolescence, which became Netflix's second most-watched show ever, won big at the 77th Primetime Emmys 2025 with 6 awards. It was co-created by actor Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne.

In just four episodes, 'Adolescence' shows how 13-year-old schoolboy Jamie Miller's (Owen Cooper) life turns upside down when he is suddenly accused of murdering his female classmate, Katie. The show's one-take filming style and brilliant writing became a hit among viewers worldwide.
Owen Cooper, who won Best Supporting Actor (in a limited series), is now the youngest ever male winner of the award.
