  • Prime Video cancelled faith-based drama It's Not Like That after one season.
  • The show held a perfect 100% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes.
  • It debuted on Wonder Project's channel before a wide Prime Video release.


Streaming platform Prime Video cancelled its faith-based drama It's Not Like That after one season, preventing the family television programme from securing a second-season renewal. The decision to terminate the streaming series arrived more than a month and a half after the project received its wide global release on the main platform. The production represents an ongoing collaborative venture with independent studio Wonder Project, which originally launched the show exclusively on its dedicated add-on subscription channel.

Deadline reported that the sudden cancellation occurred despite the programme maintaining a perfect 100 per cent critical score on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The faith-based drama It's Not Like That debuted on the specialised subscription service on January 25, 2026, before expanding to a wide release on Prime Video on May 15, 2026. While Amazon MGM Studios did not publicly release official viewership numbers, the platform featured the production at number nine on its inaugural global weekly chart on June 3, 2026, and the drama recently remained a fixture at number five on the daily American rankings.

The creative decision contrasts with the ongoing renewal of House of David, a separate series developed under the same streaming partnership. While both initial series were originally commissioned under a previous executive regime, Amazon MGM Studios Head of Global TV Peter Friedlander maintains a long-standing professional relationship with Wonder Project CEO Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten from their previous employment at Netflix.

Created by television writers Ian Deitchman and Kristin Robinson, the narrative of the cancelled faith-based drama It's Not Like That followed a recently widowed pastor and father of three, portrayed by Scott Foley, alongside a newly divorced mother of two, played by Erinn Hayes. The central characters navigated their modern single lives and parental duties, ending the debut season with an unresolved cliffhanger regarding their mutual romantic feelings. Deitchman and Robinson served as showrunners alongside Garrett Lerner, executive producing the Amazon MGM Studios production alongside Jon Erwin, Justin Rosenblatt, Jon Gunn, Brad Silberling, and Alex Goldstone.
