Prime Video has left viewers with plenty to say following the latest news about It’s Not Like That.
Streaming giant Prime Video has quietly axed a drama that fans hailed as an “emotional rollercoaster” after just a single season. Deadline reported that the eight-episode series, which follows a newly-divorced woman and a recently widowed man as they explore the possibility of a romantic future together, has been shelved.
The show only made its debut at the start of 2026, yet it has been widely reported that it will not be returning for a second run, leaving the couple’s fate hanging in the air. It’s Not Like That is the series in question, sitting alongside major hits such as Clarkson’s Farm.
Deadline noted: “The cancellation of It’s Not Like That is somewhat surprising. In addition to its strong reviews, it seems to have been doing well. Prime Video is not releasing viewership numbers, but it started putting out weekly Top 10 rankings, and the first one, which came out June 3, featured It’s Not Like That at No. 9 on the global series list.”
The Mirror has reached out to Prime Video seeking clarification on the cancellation, which has left devoted fans absolutely furious.
On X, formerly Twitter, one viewer raged: “@PrimeVideo what is this you are doing, cancelling #ItsNotLikeThat?! Great TV. Great writing! Great talent! We have loved this. Why are you doing this? ! Bring it back! Bring it back!”
Over on Reddit, another viewer added: “I actually found it charming and was hoping for more. It was extremely corny, though.”
The finale saw recently widowed minister Malcolm (played by Scott Foley) finally confessing his feelings for Lori (Erinn Hayes), though it emerged this was merely happening inside his own head.
Viewers will now never discover whether Malcolm ultimately chose to share his true emotions with Lori.
Prior to the programme’s axing, one fan wrote on IMDb reviews that they would be “absolutely devastated” if it wasn’t brought back. They said: “I love everything about this show, and will be absolutely devastated if it’s not renewed! It was a beautiful ride through faith, family, friendship, love, relationships.”
Another viewer remarked: “It’s not overly dramatised and doesn’t give you that feeling that the producers are trying too hard for ratings.
“Character development met with healthy emotional moments had me reflecting on my own life and really connecting with the families and their circumstances.
“It was a breath of fresh air in the sense that families of all ages could watch this together without having any inappropriate content to worry about.”
A final fan pleaded: “Please renew this! This show is so raw and emotional and everything I didn’t know that I needed right now. I cried, I laughed, I felt all the emotions with these 2 families.”
It’s Not Like That airs on Prime Video.
