Scott Foley returns to television as Malcolm, a pastor rebuilding his life after his wife’s death, in Prime Video’s new Wonder Project drama It’s Not Like That.
A Complicated New Beginning
Malcolm’s wife Jenny died nearly a year ago, leaving him to raise three children alone. His longtime friend Lori-recently divorced from husband David-steps in to help, honoring a promise she made to Jenny.
Their bond deepens, sparking questions:
- Is comfort turning into romance?
- How do their five teenagers adjust?
- Can faith and friendship survive second-chapter feelings?
Family Friction Rises
The children push back. Penelope insists, “We’re not going to just erase mom.” Merritt, Lori’s son, adds, “I love how we’re supposed to just pick up where we left off like nothing’s happened.”
David, Lori’s ex, warns Malcolm, “Focus on your own family.”
Yet Malcolm, back in the pulpit, tells the congregation-and Lori-“I know that you need me, and I need you too.”
