<p>In January 2022, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/prada-mens-fashion-show-fall-winter-2022-2023-kyle-mclachlan-jeff-goldblum-photos-images-videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MacLachlan</a> closed Prada&rsquo;s Fall/Winter menswear show in Milan alongside Jeff Goldblum. The show, titled "Body of Work," celebrated structured silhouettes with a modern twist&mdash;and yes, he absolutely pulled it off. More recently, he starred in Balenciaga&rsquo;s 2025 summer campaign as &ldquo;The Villain,&rdquo; and brought his signature cinematic energy to the world of fashion.</p>

<h2><b>True Crime (but make it a podcast)</b></h2>

<p>In 2024, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kyle-maclachlan-new-tv-show-podcast-roles-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MacLachlan</a> co-launched <i>Varnamtown</i>, a true crime podcast with investigative journalist Joshua Davis. The series explores the shadowy history of a small North Carolina town that became a hub for carefully orchestrated drug trafficking. The podcast quickly hit #4 on the True Crime charts and cracked the top 25 across all genres on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.</p>
