Travis Kelce’s ‘Grotesquerie’ Character Makes His First Appearance in New Teaser

Spooky season is just around the corner, and Ryan Murphy is correctly setting the vibe with the teaser of his newest drama series, Grotesquerie.

In the minute-long trailer released on Thursday (Aug. 15), Niecy Nash-Betts’ character, Detective Lois Tryon, is heard narrating a series of terrifying images, including crime scenes, haunts, nuns, evil entities and more. “I don’t know how it started,” she says. “It’s like a hole opened up in the world – to the center of nothingness.”

At one point in the clip, Travis Kelce’s character appears briefly, crossing his hands in front of his face, appearing to perform some type of magic. In addition to Betts and Kelce, Grotesquerie also stars Courtney B. Vance, Lesley Manville and more.

In the show, “a series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community,” per the description. “Detective Lois Tryon feels these crimes are eerily personal, as if someone—or something—is taunting her. With no leads and unsure of where to turn, she accepts the help of Sister Megan. However, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.”

Grotesquerie is the latest in Kelce’s growing list of entertainment gigs off the Kansas City Chiefs’ field.  Prime Video confirmed earlier this year that Kelce is slated to host its upcoming game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spin-off of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? The series will feature contestants using celebrities to help with 11 elementary-school-level questions as they compete to win $100,000.
