Move over Taylor Swift, your current bio, Travis Kelce is making the jump to entertainment. The Chiefs superstar tight end joined cast of Ryan Murphy‘s high-profile new FX horror series Grotesquerie, Deadline has learned.
The highly anticipated upcoming series, which has recently begun production, features a talented cast including Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville. Representatives for FX, Murphy, and the producing studio 20th Television have chosen not to provide any comments regarding Kelce’s casting at this time.
The premiere of the series is anticipated to align with the upcoming football season, during which Kelce will make his return to the Kansas City Chiefs following their third Super Bowl victory in five years.
This series, titled Grotesquerie, serves as a continuation of Kelce’s foray into acting, following his successful hosting gig on Saturday Night Live in March 2023. Additionally, he made a cameo appearance alongside Swift on the NBC late-night sketch comedy series last autumn.
Murphy is known for helping talent cross over to acting. Several years ago, he gave Lady Gaga her first major role on American Horror Story: Hotel. She went on to star in A Star Is Born, earning an Oscar acting nomination for her performance.
