Travis Kelce has officially nabbed his first acting job a horror series under none other than Ryan Murphy .

The Kansas City Chiefs player confirmed monthslong rumors on Tuesday about a potential career change when Niecy Nash , who was cast earlier this year in Murphys upcoming Grotesquerie series, revealed her new co-star in an adorable Instagram video.

Guys, guess who I am working with on Grotesquerie? Nash asked in the video before panning over to Kelce, who smilingly added: Jumping into new territory with Niecy!

While he successfully hosted Saturday Night Live in 2023 and clearly triumphs under pressure on the field , starring in a scripted series opposite Nash who won an Emmy for her performance in Murphys Dahmer last year is certainly uncharted territory for Kelce.

His interest was first rumored in January when a source told People that Kelce really enjoyed hosting SNL and wants to lean into acting. He will now be starring not only opposite Nash, but The Crown alum Lesley Manville and Emmy winner Courtney B. Vance.

Murphy became a showrunner to contend with after crafting iconic television shows like Nip/Tuck, Glee and American Horror Story. The producer will return to horror with Grotesquerie, which was first teased with an ominous monologue from Nash in February.
