Jason and Travis Kelce are taking their New Heights podcast to Wondery.
The brothers have signed a reported nine-figure deal, handing the Amazon-owned podcast company rights to distribute their show, along with exclusive ad-sales representation.
The multi-year agreement also gives Wondery global distribution rights to all audio and video episodes of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce and its back catalog. Wondery can also create international adaptations.
Since its launch in 2022, New Heights has been with Wave Sports + Entertainment, but now transfers to Wondery, which is known for the likes of Dr. Death, Business Wars, Scamfluencers and American Scandal. The show follows the NFL stars’ personal and sporting lives, plus insight on football and pop culture. It is a regular top sports podcast on Apple and Spotify. Wave will continue to provide production services.
The move comes in a big year for the brothers. Jason retired from the NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year, and has since moved into sports broadcasting for ESPN. He and his wife Kylie also featured in a documentary film for Prime Video titled Kelce, which chronicled his epic year leading to the Super Bowl LVII matchup against his brother. He’s also in talks to lead Lionsgate action comedy Loose Cannons.
Travis — known globally for his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift — has hosted Saturday Night Live and was cast in Ryan Murphy’s FX horror series Grotesquerie, as we revealed earlier this year. He’s also signed up to present Prime Video’s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, and made his debut as an executive producer on the indie film My Dead Friend Zoe, which premiered at SXSW. He is also producing King Pleasure, a doc on artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. He is signed with CAA and is expected to return to the Kansas City Chiefs for the new season.
