Amazon's Wondery will take over all ad sales and distribution rights for the Kelce brothers' weekly show as part of the agreement announced Tuesday.
"Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to new heights!" Travis and Jason Kelce said in a statement. "We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We are thrilled to start Season 3 — see you soon, 92%ers!"
Variety reports the deal is for three years and more than $100 million.
The Kelce brothers began their "New Heights" podcast two years ago and it has grown into what Wondery CEO Jen Sargent calls "a cultural phenomenon."

In addition to their insider football knowledge from a combined 24 years in the NFL, the Kelces often tap into their personal lives, pop culture and other random topics on their podcast. And of course, the show's popularity gained even greater visibility from Travis Kelce's budding romance with musical megastar Taylor Swift.
The new deal will provide ad-free access to Wondery+ subscribers and allow the company to create new products and sell merchandise based on the "New Heights" podcast.
