Travis Kelce will make his first appearance on FX’s Grotesquerie on October 2, after his absence from the first two episodes angered eager fans.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end makes his on-screen acting debut with the twisted horror series, with episodes dropping every Wednesday.
On the eve of his long-awaited screen time, the show Instagram account posted stills of Kelce from his debut episode.
The behind-the-scenes footage shows Kelce wearing an all-white ensemble and talking to Niecy Nash’s character, Detective Lois Tryon, in a garden setting. Another shot shows Kelce walking in the hallway toward Nash as the camera crew films him.
“Travis. Tomorrow,” the account wrote as fans took to the comments section to express their excitement.

Fans were frustrated with the Kansas City Chiefs star’s absence from the first two episodes
“Oh here we goooooo,” one user wrote. “I’m looking forward to seeing his abilities as an actor.”
“Looking forward to seeing Travis perform on this amazing show,” a second added.
A third speculated: ‘I think he’s the killer.’
During the premiere episodes on Wednesday night, Kelce’s brother Jason joked that he would be “real p****d” if it turned out that his sibling had committed a monstrous crime on the show.
Fans are already wary of the incredibly gory and gruesome nature of Grotesquerie, with the first episode focusing on Detective Tryon’s search for a serial killer accused of sickening crimes – such as ‘cooking’ a young baby.

In light of that disturbing revelation, Jason admitted that he wouldn’t be very happy if Travis’ character turned out to be the serial killer in question.
“When Travis cooks a baby it really drives me crazy,” Jason wrote on X.
Kelce’s acting debut comes during the Chief’s 4-0 start in their title defense. After a slow start individually, Kelce had a breakthrough game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.
After catching a total of eight passes for 69 yards in the first three games, Kelce caught seven passes for 89 yards during Sunday’s 17-10 win. In doing so, he broke the Chiefs’ franchise record for receptions.
