Ryan Murphy has a new drama horror series set to premiere on FX with a special guest star set to add to his acting resume.

Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and the boyfriend of pop superstar Taylor Swift, will guest star in "Grotesquerie," a 10-episode limited series that premieres Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

The 10-episode limited series centers on Detective Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash-Betts) who attempts to decipher who's behind a series of crimes and torments her with their wrongdoings. At a loss for leads, she partners with Sister Megan (Micaela Diamond), a nun and reporter, to find the culprit.

The series held its premiere Monday night in New York, and while Kelce himself wasn't in attendance, his mother, Donna Kelce, told USA TODAY while walking the red carpet why her son is well-suited for a transition into acting.

"He's one of those types of individuals who's kind of like a chameleon," she said. "He can be with people of varying different walks of life and fit in. He's always been able to do that, and I think he has a lot to draw from with all of the individuals that he's been around."
