The confirmation of Kelce's involvement came from Grotesquerie star Niecy Nash-Betts, who shared the news in an Instagram video posted on Tuesday. Although specific details about the show remain scarce, Nash-Betts, along with Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville, have been announced as cast members.
Despite the announcement, no information has been disclosed regarding the character Kelce will portray. Murphy previously teased the series with a cryptic Instagram post in February, featuring Nash-Betts' voice expressing deep concern about a crime scene.
Kelce, the star of the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently experiencing a surge in pop culture relevance, partly due to his association with Taylor Swift and his team's recent Super Bowl victory. He has been expanding his entertainment ventures off the field, including forays into the dramatic arts. In addition to co-hosting the popular podcast "New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce," Kelce made his debut as the host of "Saturday Night Live" in March 2023. During his appearance, he participated in sketches alongside his brother, Jason. Kelce also made a cameo appearance on "SNL" in an October 2023 episode.
Kelce's hosting duties continue to expand as he was confirmed in April to host the revival of the game show "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?," set to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
In addition to his hosting roles, Kelce is delving into production with a documentary titled "King Pleasure," focusing on the life and art of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Furthermore, Kelce has ventured into the music scene by launching his own music festival, Kelce Jam. The inaugural event took place on April 28 in Kansas City and showcased performances by Machine Gun Kelly and Rick Ross.
