Ed Sheeran has teamed up with Adolescence director Philip Barantini for a Netflix special titled One Shot With Ed Sheeran.

The short film shows the singer walking through New York City in real time, playing his songs in subway carriages and at various spots around the city, leaving a trail of surprised fans in his wake.

"From impromptu performances on bustling sidewalks and subway cars, to intimate interactions with fans and passersby," a press release for the film reads, "Ed Sheeran's journey through New York will be captured in a series of unforgettable moments, highlighting the pandemonium and excitement that follows."

Director Barantini created Adolescence with Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham.

It won eight Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. Barantini won Best Directing for a Limited of Anthology Series or Movie.

Earlier this year, Sheeran went underground at the Rockefeller Centre subway station with Jimmy Fallon to perform Azizam and Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club. He was disguised at first, but it didn't take long for a crowd to form.

One Shot With Ed Sheeran similarly takes place in the wilds of New York City without a formal script. It premieres on 21 November on Netflix.
