Prime Video Cancels 'It's Not Like That' After One Season

The decision underscores how streamers can drop well-reviewed niche series without releasing viewership data.

Overview

  • The cancellation was first reported Tuesday by Deadline and was widely confirmed by other outlets over the following days.
  • The eight-episode faith-based drama remains available to stream and had a two-step release that began on the Wonder Project Prime Video add-on on Jan. 25 before a wide Prime Video rollout on May 15.
  • Critics praised the show and coverage noted a reported 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, but Prime Video has not shared raw viewership numbers even as the series appeared on the platform’s Top 10 lists.
  • Star and executive producer Scott Foley posted an Instagram video expressing disappointment and gratitude to cast, crew and viewers after the cancellation became public.
  • The series was produced in partnership with Wonder Project and its shelving comes as Wonder Project’s companion title House of David is reported to be moving forward with a third season, raising questions about how renewal choices are made for add-on or niche programming.
