Scott Foley's Candid Reaction to the Series' Termination

Scott Foley recently took to Instagram to convey his sentiments regarding the discontinuation of his drama series, 'It's Not Like That,' by Prime Video after a single season. His public statement on Wednesday afternoon revealed a mix of gratitude and letdown over the platform's decision.

An Unexpected Halt for a Critically Acclaimed Show

Foley pointed out the show's strong performance, noting its consistent presence in Prime Video's top 10, even reaching as high as the third or fourth spot. He also highlighted the overwhelmingly positive critical reception, including a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, making the cancellation particularly surprising for him and the show's fans. "I think I'm just disappointed, obviously, but I'm so grateful for the chance, right?" Foley shared, expressing his pride in the project and the collaboration with its team.

Heartfelt Thanks to the Dedicated Team and Viewers

The actor extended his appreciation to everyone involved in the production of 'It's Not Like That,' from the cast and crew to the audience who watched the series. He emphasized the joy he experienced working with such a talented group and conveyed his willingness to collaborate with them again in the future. Foley also encouraged those who hadn't seen the show to still give it a watch on Amazon Prime, acknowledging that while it wouldn't reverse the cancellation, the support was still meaningful.

Exploring the Premise of 'It's Not Like That'

Created by Ian Deitchman and Kristin Rusk Robinson, 'It's Not Like That' is a faith-oriented drama. The narrative centers on a newly divorced woman and a pastor who recently lost his spouse, as they navigate the complexities of single parenthood. The series featured a diverse cast including Erinn Hayes, J.R. Ramirez, Caleb Baumann, Cary Christopher, Liv Lindell, Leven Miranda, Cassidy Paul, and Michaela Russell, alongside Foley.

A Brief Run on Prime Video

The series made its debut on Prime Video on January 25 and concluded its run after eight episodes. Despite its brief presence, the show managed to leave a significant impression on its lead actor and its audience, who now mourn its premature end.
