Travis Kelce is hitting the small screen!
The three-time Super Bowl champ, 34, landed his first acting role in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX series “Grotesquerie.”
On Tuesday, news of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s venture into the small screen was announced by his co-star Niecy Nash.
“Guys, guess who I am working with on ‘Grotesquerie’?” the actress, 54, teased, before panning the camera over to Kelce in a video shared on Instagram.
“Jumping into new territory with Niecy,” Kelce chimed in, to which Nash added, “We on site!”
“This is what happens when WINNERS link up!! @killatrav Welcome to Grostequerie [sic],” she captioned the fun clip, referring to her Emmy win for her role in “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” and Kelce’s third Super Bowl win back in February.
Kelce later reposted the clip to his Instagram Story, writing, “Steppin into a new world with one of the legends.”
The athlete is set to star opposite Nash, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville in the upcoming series, which has just started production.
And in true Ryan Murphy fashion, details about the upcoming series and its plot have not been shared by any cast members at this time.
The series is slated for a fall premiere, which will coincide with Kelce’s 12th season in the NFL.
The Post has reached out to FX for comment.
Even before his romance with Taylor Swift, Kelce had been trying to build his Hollywood portfolio.
The NFL star, who signed with agency CAA to pursue his acting dreams, hosted “Saturday Night Live” last March, and made a cameo alongside Swift on the NBC late-night sketch comedy series this past fall.
Kelce also had his reality dating show, named “Catching Kelce,” in 2016 before going on to star in over 375 nationwide commercials in the 2023 NFL season, which is more than any other athlete or celebrity, according to the Wall Street Journal.
On top of that, Travis hosts “New Heights” with his brother and former NFL star Jason Kelce, which has become the No. 1 Spotify podcast in the sports category.
Most recently, he earned his first executive producer credit for the film “My Dead Friend Zoe,” which debuted at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March.
Kelce will also serve as the producer on an upcoming documentary on artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, titled “King Pleasure.”
He’s set to host the game show “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” which will stream via Prime Video.
