‘It’s Not Like That’: Scott Foley Notes Series’ Strong Reviews & Performance As “Disappointed But Grateful” Star Laments Cancellation By Prime Video

Deadline · 2 months ago

Scott Foley, the star and executive producer of the faith-based family drama It's Not Like That, has responded to Prime Video's decision to cancel the series after one season. In an Instagram video posted a day after Deadline reported the cancellation, Foley described himself as "disappointed but grateful", pointing out that the show had performed well and been critically praised. The reaction matters because it highlights the tension between a series' apparent success with viewers and critics and a streamer's decision to end it regardless.

Foley noted the show had spent around six weeks in Prime Video's Top 10 — reaching as high as third or fourth — and held a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The series, from Parenthood alumni Ian Deitchman and Kristin Robinson, follows Malcolm (Foley), a recently widowed pastor with three children, and Lori (Erinn Hayes), a newly divorced mother of two, as they navigate single parenthood. It received a wide Prime Video release on 15 May 2026, having first debuted in January on The Wonder Project add-on channel. Foley thanked fans, cast and crew, and encouraged viewers to watch the show, which remains available on the platform.
