The 34-year-old has now been cast in the new horror series Grotesquerie, per Deadline.
Directed by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, the drama is set to land on FX this fall.
Kelce will appear in the show alongside Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville.

Right now there is no confirmation of Kelce's character or the size of his role in the production.
FX reps, director Murphy, and producing studio 20th Television declined to comment, per the Deadline report.
Travis starred in reality TV dating show Catching Kelce in 2016.
He also fronted Saturday Night Live in March 2023 and is the new host of the Amazon game show, Am I Smarter Than A Celebrity?
The Chiefs superstar hopes to break into the world of entertainment with his football career in its final years.
He recently became the highest-paid tight end in the NFL after penning a two-year extension with the Chiefs.

TRAVIS Kelce has three Super Bowl rings - and a psychic matchmaker reckons he could soon add an engagement ring.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, the psychic claimed Kelce will soon propose to music megastar girlfriend Taylor Swift.
But she also predicted both would eventually be married twice.
“The stars are aligned for these two at the moment,” Deborah Graham told The U.S. Sun.
“I see the relationship moving forward, and I see it moving towards that next level.
“The difficulty is that I see two life paths for them and two rings - I see two marriages there for both of them."
After back-to-back Super Bowls, the team is aiming for a historic three-peat in 2024.
Kelce is leaning on girlfriend Swift's expertise as he looks to navigate his new A-lister career.
His podcast New Heights alongside brother Jason has already proved a huge success.
