Prime Video has quietly pulled the plug on the family drama It’s Not Like That, canceling the series after a single season. The move closes the book on a show that built its story around two single parents and aired its season finale on March 8 — which now serves as the series’ final episode.
Entertainment outlet TVLine confirmed the cancellation, with Deadline first reporting the development. Amazon has not released audience figures or offered an official reason for the decision.
The series followed Malcolm, a widowed pastor and father of three played by Scott Foley, and Lori, a newly divorced mother of two portrayed by Erinn Hayes. Once close through overlapping family ties, the pair’s friendship blurred into a quietly teased romantic possibility as both navigated life as single parents.

The show was produced by the Wonder Project, a unit of Amazon MGM Studios that develops faith-oriented programming. Its cancellation reduces Amazon’s visible slate of scripted series with explicitly faith-based themes, though the streamer continues to experiment with diverse niche content across its platform.
For viewers, the practical consequence is clear: storylines left open at the March finale will remain unresolved on-screen unless creators pursue another outlet. For the cast and creative team, the end of the series frees them to seek new projects, while the industry watches how streaming platforms balance niche audiences with broader performance targets.
No official announcements about future home releases, spin-offs, or continuation options have been made. As with many streaming cancellations, the lack of public viewing metrics means the precise rationale behind the decision remains speculative.
Scott Foley is best known for his work on Scandal, and Erinn Hayes previously earned recognition for Childrens Hospital — both bring that experience into a series that aimed to mix family drama with understated faith themes. With this cancellation, the program joins a growing list of single-season shows that did not reach renewal despite completing a full run.
