UTA Signs the Kansas City Chiefs’ Foolish Club Studios (Exclusive)
United Talent Agency has signed Foolish Club Studios, the entertainment and production company launched by the Kansas City Chiefs, to help expand its global work across film, television and media rights. The partnership matters because it gives the Chiefs’ growing content operation access to UTA’s industry relationships and expertise, supporting projects designed to reach audiences beyond sport.
Foolish Club’s work includes Hallmark’s *Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story*, the ESPN and Disney+ docuseries *The Kingdom*, and *Chasing Goals*, a documentary about a Kansas City youth football club whose refugee players represent 29 countries. The studio’s name honours Chiefs and American Football League founder Lamar Hunt, while its ambitions draw on the team’s international profile and recent popularity around players including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
In short
- UTA will represent the Kansas City Chiefs’ Foolish Club Studios.
- The studio is expanding into global film, television and media rights.
- Its projects include sports dramas, docuseries and a refugee-youth football documentary.
Explained simply
The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team, and Foolish Club Studios is the entertainment company they launched to make and develop screen projects. Its name refers to Lamar Hunt, the team’s founder, who helped establish the American Football League, a rival to the NFL that later merged with it.
The studio has worked on projects including a Hallmark romance set around the Chiefs and a documentary series about the team. United Talent Agency represents people and companies in entertainment and helps develop and sell projects. Its connections could help Foolish Club Studios bring more work to film, television and audiences outside the United States.
