“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of New Heights,” the Kelce brothers said in a statement. “We love this show and the fan base that has grown with us over the last two seasons.”
“Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to new heights! We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We are thrilled to start Season 3—see you soon, 92%ers!” the Kelce brothers added.
“Since its first play, New Heights has brought hilarious, relevant commentary and interviews, and unprecedented insider access to the NFL season and professional sports,” CEO of Wondery Jen Sargent said. “Now a cultural phenomenon, we’re excited to grow the New Heights brand together with Jason, Travis, and Amazon through Wondery’s 360-approach that will engage and excite audiences across audio, video, live experiences, merch and more.”
