Scott Foley To Star In Amazon’s Faith-Based Drama Series ‘It’s Not Like That’

Scott Foley has signed on to star and executive produce It’s Not Like That, a faith based drama at Prime Video, Deadline has confirmed. It’s Not Like That, from Wonder Project, was given a cast-contingent series order at Prime Video in November and Foley’s casting now lifts that contingency.

Foley will play the series regular role of Malcolm, a minister and recent widow.

Per the logline, It’s Not Like That follows Lori, who is freshly divorced with two teens. Malcolm’s a minister and recently widowed dad of three. Their families once did everything together, but now Lori and Malcolm must navigate their newly minted singledom, parenthood and the complexities of Malcolm being a modern-day minister. Is this the beginning of a love story? It’s not like that. Or is it?

The series comes from Ian Deitchman and Kristin Robinson, who created the series and serve as showrunners. Jon Erwin, Justin Rosenblatt, Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten also will executive produce for Wonder Project, along with Alex Goldstone for 42 & Anonymous Content and Kingdom Story Company. The series is produced by Wonder Project and Amazon MGM Studios. Wonder Project head of global television Justin Rosenblatt will oversee the project.

Foley, who’s known for his work on series such as Felicity, Scandal and The Unit, can currently be seen recurring on the third season of ABC’s Will Trent. He also stars in the recently released Netflix feature La Dolce Villa. Next up, Foley will be returning to the Scream franchise in the highly anticipated Scream 7, which is currently in production.

Variety was first to report Foley’s casting.
