It's Not Like That follows Malcolm (Scott Foley), a pastor and recently widowed dad of three. Lori (Erinn Hayes) is freshly divorced with two teens.
Their families once did everything together, but now Malcolm and Lori must navigate their newly minted singledom, parenthood and the complexities of Malcolm being a modern-day pastor. Is this the beginning of a love story? It’s not like that. Or is it?
Episode 4 of It's Not Like That, titled "The Space I Keep For You," premieres on Wonder Project's subscription on Prime Video in the U.S. on Sunday, February 8, with subsequent episodes of the eight-episode season debuting weekly thereafter.
Today, we're sharing an exclusive clip from Sunday's instalment, featuring a meeting between Malcolm and Lori. The former is struggling with figuring out how to tell his date that he's a pastor, but, fortunately, Lori has some very good advice to offer her friend.
The touching exchange is capped off with her taking a photo of Malcolm, which she encourages him to send to his date. Check it out below:
Lori and David share a client, but his jealousy leads him astray. Pen’s popularity dips, Merritt fuels Flora’s creativity, and Malcolm lands a date.
Last month, we sat down with Scott to discuss his role as Malcolm in the must-see new series. As the clip above highlights, the interactions between these characters feel extremely authentic, and fleshing Malcolm out was a priority for the Scream 7 star.
"The script was very well crafted and thought out when it comes to the characters. Obviously, I bring my own work to the character," Foley says in the video below. "Presence and backstory. Creating a backstory for Malcolm, independent of the little that had been set up, was really interesting to do. Malcolm isn't that much different from you and me."
"The whole faith thing in this show is really interesting, too, because it was pitched to me before I read the script as a faith-based show. I thought, what does that mean? Is that going to alienate people? Is it going to bring in more viewers? Then I read it and, at least in the pilot, aside from him being a pastor and faith leader, I didn't feel that it was rammed down my throat or heavy-handed."
"I appreciated that, because if you are a person of faith or religion, there's something relatable for you here," he continued. "If you're not, it's not going to get in the way. It just happens to be a job he has. I found that duality really interesting."
