I love keeping up with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship, but I also love learning new tidbits about him outside of their whirlwind romance. From his hilarious podcast to his golden retriever personality, Travis is truly one-of-a-kind!
But, what's really setting my heart ablaze about the man at the moment? Hushed tone: He's joined Ryan Murphy's universe in Murphy's new show, Grotesquerie! Say what you want about the nature of his shows, but Ryan Murphy has an eye for casting people perfectly in all of his series, so I expect nothing but great things from Travis. Here's everything we know about the upcoming series so far!
What is Ryan Murphy's new TV show?
Brace yourselves because Grotesquerie will be coming to a TV near you! Leave it to Ryan Murphy to come up with a series name that's equally disturbing and enthralling. If you hear someone's teeth and bones quivering, it's mine.
Vulturereports that this is a horror show that's "outside of the American Horror Story umbrella." Based on the name alone, I can imagine that a grotesque form of horror will be introduced in the series and it'll have Ryan Murphy's signature twist on it.

Travis Kelce's role has yet to be revealed, but we can imagine he's going to play a significant part (via FX)!
What is 'Grotesquerie' about?
Grotesquerie is about Detective Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash-Betts) and her determination to solve recurring crimes in the place she calls home. On top of feeling plagued by what's happening in her community, she's dealing with friction in her personal life (via Deadline).
Nevertheless, Tryon starts working with Sister Megan (Micaela Diamond) to see if they can uncover what feels like an otherworldly plot. The problem is that they may be in over their heads as evil begins to show its horrifying face.
What have cast members said about Travis Kelce's debut in 'Grotesquerie?'

Niecy Nash-Betts was the first person to share the news about Travis Kelce's role in Grotesquerie on Instagram! She said, "Guys, guess who I'm working with on Grotesquerie" before Travis steps into view. Based on the short clip, they seemed excited to work together which later proved to be true.
"He was very open on if there was a note given or a suggestion given. So amenable. 'Tell me what I don't know. Tell me what your thought is on this,'" Nash-Betts said (via People). She added that she believes "fans are going to find him very charming in this role."
Nicholas Alexander Chavez also praised Travis's personality and his ability to adapt to being on set. "He handled the material like a pro. He’s awesome. He's a friendly and cool guy," he said (via People).
Does Donna Kelce support her son's acting debut?
This shouldn't be a real question, but some parents can be hesitant if their kids venture into different careers or hobbies. But we all know Donna Kelce isn't like that! She proudly showed her support for Travis by making an appearance at the premiere for Grotesquerie in a gorgeous burgundy outfit that complemented the purple carpet. She even admitted acting isn't a random thing for him.
"I think this is something he's always had in the back of his mind," she said before adding, "He's very coachable. That's one good thing he does,"(via People). Not that it should surprise anyone, but she thinks her youngest son was able to pivot towards acting because "he's got a good work ethic."
