Travis Kelce To Make His Acting Debut In New Horror Show From 'American Horror Story' Creator

NFL star Travis Kelce is going from the football field to on-screen as he is set to star in an upcoming horror television series from the creator of 'American Horror Story.'

The three-time Super Bowl champion is attached to the upcoming project alongside actress Niecy Nash-Betts, who recently won an Emmy Award for her performance in 'Dahmer.'

Niecy Nash-Betts shared a video on social media announcing her involvement in the upcoming project, asking her fans, "Guys, guess who I am working with on 'Grostequerie'?"

She then pans the camera to reveal the NFL star's face, complete with his iconic big grin. "This is what happens when WINNERS link up‼️" Nash-Betts captioned the video.

Kelce reposted the video, sharing that he is "jumping into new territory with Niecy" and "steppin' into a new world with one of the legends."

Kelce and Nash-Betts will star alongside Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville in the upcoming series. Reps for FX tell Deadline that 'American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy is behind the project and production has begun.

While he previously appeared on TV for his reality dating series 'Catching Kelce,' it was an unscripted show, so 'Grostequerie' will mark his acting debut. He also recently signed on as host of Amazon’s 'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?'

This news also comes after he signed a new $34.25m two-year NFL contract, with the tight end receiving a guaranteed $17 million for this upcoming season.

After sharing the news, fans flooded Nash-Bett's Instagram post, expressing their excitement for the duo. "You are the absolute cutest and I am so excited for you to work with Travis!" one fan commented.

"Just icons hanging out," another said.

"My two favorite people in the world together. God is good," a third expressed.

At this time, 'Grotesquerie' does not yet have a release date.

Last year, Ryan Murphy shared a teaser with fans, and while it did not show any footage, Niecy Nash-Betts provided her voice to deliver a monologue.

“I don’t know what’s started. I can’t put my finger on it. But it’s different now,” she said in the clip. “There’s been a shift. It’s like something’s opening up in the world. A kind of hole to the center of nothingness.

“What I saw today — they sent shrinks for everyone who worked this crime scene,” she continued. “You say, ‘Well, hon, evil has always existed.’ And cite some statistic about how the world’s getting better, less murder, more help, less global horror, never been a better time to be alive."

She concluded, “Come back. It’s not getting better and I keep needing to hear your answers, because something’s happening around us, and nobody sees but me.”

Last year, Swifties went wild after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce confirmed they were dating. While the two first linked last summer, it wasn't until the 'Red' singer showed up at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September that they went public.

Ever since, they have made headlines for their romance, with Swifties becoming Kansas City Chiefs fans to support the two. Travis Kelce has also gained over three million followers after Swift showed up at the game.

The Kansas City Chiefs star previously spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how his relationship with Swift has changed his taste in music.

“It’s definitely been fun to experience her taste in music, for sure,” he told the outlet. “She’s so amazing at what she does. And to find that creativity to see where she likes to pull things from and just, really, how she listens to music is very eye-opening for me. It’s been fun to hear her take on it.”

He also told PEOPLE that this is “the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m a guy that some people say is glass half full, half empty, and my glass is all the way full. It’s all the way full. I’m oozing life right now.”
