Scott Foley Reacts to ‘It’s Not Like That’ Cancellation

In the ever-shifting sands of the streaming wars, another show has been left behind. Prime Video’s decision to cancel the dramedy series ‘It’s Not Like That’ after its debut season has drawn a public, and notably candid, reaction from its star, Scott Foley. Speaking to Variety, Foley didn’t mince words about his feelings, framing his response not with the typical industry platitudes but with a palpable sense of personal letdown. “I think I’m just disappointed,” he said, a simple statement that speaks volumes about the emotional investment actors pour into projects that vanish overnight in today’s algorithm-driven content ecosystem.

This cancellation is more than just another line item on a corporate spreadsheet. It represents a growing trend in the post-peak-TV era, where viewer metrics and global reach often trump critical praise or niche appeal. For Foley, a veteran actor with a loyal fanbase from shows like ‘Scandal’ and ‘Felicity,’ the swift axe on ‘It’s Not Like That’ highlights the precarious nature of creative work in a market saturated with options. His disappointment isn’t merely about a lost job; it’s about the abrupt end of a story he helped tell and a character he helped build, cut short before it could find its full audience.
