It’s time for a touchdown dance! Kelce, the Prime Video documentary following Jason Kelce throughout the 2022-2023 NFL season — in which he led the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl against his brother Travis Kelce‘s Kansas City Chiefs — has become the streaming provider’s most watched documentary ever in the U.S., per Deadline.
The film, which was released on Sept. 12, reportedly intercepted Val — the 2021 biographical doc crafted by actor Val Kilmer about his life — in its pursuit of the top ranking.
While Amazon has yet to release exact viewership numbers, Deadline reported that the film debuted at No. 1 and maintained a spot in Prime Video’s Top 5 films over the first three weeks of its release.
Matt Newman, head of Prime Video Original sports content, said that they’re “extremely proud of Kelce and thrilled to share in its record-setting success with [their] partners at NFL Films, Skydance Sports, 9.14 Pictures, and Vera Y Productions,” per Deadline.
“Kelce is the perfect example of the type of documentary we want to make at Amazon,” Newman continued. “It’s as much a story of family, parenting, and brotherhood as it is about football. We’re energized by the opportunity to take sports fans behind the scenes and into the lives of their favorite athletes – next up for us, it’s Barry Sanders in Bye Bye Barry this November, and Deion Sanders in Season 2 of Coach Prime this December.”
While Jason is the primary subject of Kelce, Travis has been the talk of the town with respect to his rumored relationship with Taylor Swift.
The NFL has capitalized on their potential romance by featuring Swift and her famous friends in the stands during games. Travis claimed that this does add “a little bit more to what you’re watching,” but even admitted that he thought the league was “overdoing it.”
However, Jason and Travis are not the only two Kelce family members that have been thrust into the spotlight. Their mother, Donna Kelce, lovingly known by fans as “Mama Kelce,” recently made an appearance on The Today Show, where she, like Jason, was pressed for details on Travis’ relationship with Swift.
Kelce is streaming on Prime Video.
