Series star Niecy Nash took to Instagram to announce the Kansas City Chiefs superstar’s arrival to the FX horror drama.
Three-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce, 34, is making his way from the football field to the small screen for his first major acting role in Ryan Murphy’s FX horror drama “Grotesquerie.”
Kelce’s soon-to-be co-star Niecy Nash, 54, took to Instagram on Tuesday to break the news, captioning the post, “This is what happens when WINNERS link up!!”
“Guys, guess who I’m working with on ‘Grotesquerie’?” Nash teased fans in the video, before revealing a beaming Kelce, who acknowledged his entry into “new territory.”
The Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end reposted the video to his own Instagram account, tagging Nash with the caption: “Steppin into a new world with one of the legends!”
Fans on Instagram were swift to react:
“Yessssss! YOU are amazing & Travis is too funny. Can’t wait to see this collab!” one user wrote.
“Let’s go!!!! Can’t wait to watch,” another exclaimed.
While “Grotesquerie” is his first major role, between a slew of ad campaigns and the attention he garners for his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift, Kelce is no stranger to tackling TV.
Kelce also hosted “Saturday Night Live” last year and returned to make a cameo on “SNL” alongside Swift in a later episode. And in 2020 he appeared in an episode of “Moonbase 8” on Showtime, playing himself on the astronaut comedy series starring Fred Armisen, Tim Heidecker and John C. Reilly.
And he is half of the hit on-camera podcast “New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce,” on which the two brothers bawl with laughter as they discuss league life.
With “Grotesquerie,” Kelce is set to star opposite actors such as Nash, Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville in the drama horror series set to premiere in the fall — coinciding with Kelce’s 12th NFL season.
