Scott Foley has expressed his disappointment following the cancellation of his recent series, *It’s Not Like That*, which aired on Amazon Prime Video. The actor took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the show, which had initially enjoyed a successful run, remaining in the platform’s Top 10 for several weeks since its global premiere on May 15.

In a video posted on July 8, Foley reflected on the show’s brief but impactful journey. He noted its impressive performance, including a peak ranking of third or fourth in the Top 10 and glowing reviews that led to a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite this success, news of the cancellation came unexpectedly. “Well, after six or so weeks in Prime Video’s Top 10—really great reviews, I think we have like 100% on Rotten Tomatoes—our little show called *It’s Not Like That* has been cancelled at Amazon Prime,” he stated in the clip.
Foley’s sentiments were laced with gratitude despite his disappointment. “I think I’m just disappointed, obviously, but I’m so grateful for the chance,” he expressed. The actor highlighted the pride he felt in the show and the camaraderie he developed with the cast and crew. “I got to make a show I’m so proud of with people I grew to like a lot, and now we don’t get to make it anymore, and you don’t get to watch it,” he added.
This heartfelt message was accompanied by an invitation for viewers who had yet to see the series to check it out while it remains available on the platform. He extended his appreciation to all who had supported the series, whether through their own discovery or recommendations. “It’s not going to change the cancellation, but I wanted to thank everybody who took the time to check it out,” he mentioned, reinforcing his appreciation for the audience’s engagement.
Foley didn’t shy away from highlighting the talented team behind *It’s Not Like That*, praising his co-stars, including Erinn Hayes, Cassidy Paul, J.R. Ramirez, and Caleb Baumann. “To the entire cast and crew, I loved making this show with you, and I would work with you again and again and again,” he remarked, demonstrating his commitment to collaborative creativity in television.
Adding a personal touch to his post, Foley shared a behind-the-scenes photo from his co-star Liv Lindell. The image captured joyful moments of the cast celebrating the show’s release in Times Square, New York City, further underscoring the sense of community that developed during production.
The cancellation was confirmed earlier this week, and while it may have surprised fans, the show’s unique premise—following a widowed father as he navigates parenting and the journey of finding love again—found its footing with many viewers. The series was produced by Amazon MGM Studios and helmed by showrunners Ian Deitchman and Kristin Robinson, who aimed to connect with an audience through its relatable storylines.
Though *It’s Not Like That* has come to an end, Foley continues to express gratitude for the opportunity to create such a heartfelt project. His reflections serve as both a thank you to fans and a testament to the often unpredictable nature of the entertainment industry.
For those who wish to catch up on the series, *It’s Not Like That* remains available on Amazon Prime Video, allowing new viewers a chance to enjoy the show even after its cancellation. As the industry often sees shows come and go, Foley’s reminder of the hard work and passion that went into the series resonates deeply with both fans and fellow creators.
In an industry known for its ups and downs, Foley’s response exemplifies the resilience required in the world of television, where not every show, regardless of merit, can find a lasting home.
