- Prime Video canceled "It's Not Like That" after one season, despite the show holding a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and spending roughly six weeks on the platform's Daily Top 10, peaking at No. 3 or No. 4.
- Scott Foley, the show's star and executive producer, reacted in an Instagram video saying he was "disappointed, obviously, but… so grateful for the chance" to make a show he was proud of.
- "It's Not Like That" first debuted on the Wonder Project add-on subscription channel in January before its wide Prime Video release on May 15.
- The series, from Parenthood alums Ian Deitchman and Kristin Robinson, follows widowed pastor Malcolm (Foley) and newly divorced mom Lori (Erinn Hayes) navigating singledom and parenthood.
- Foley urged fans to watch the show while it remains available on Prime Video, thanked the cast and crew, and said he "would work with you again and again and again."
- The cast also included J.R. Ramirez, Caleb Baumann, Cary Christopher, Leven Miranda, Liv Lindell, and Cassidy Paul in supporting family roles.
Why it matters: A streaming platform axed a critically acclaimed faith-based family drama in which its star was also an executive producer, after roughly six weeks of Top 10 visibility and a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score — underscoring how performance metrics alone don't guarantee renewal when broader business or subscriber priorities intervene, and leaving Foley publicly championing a show viewers can still find on Prime Video.
