What is ‘It’s Not Like That’ about?
“It’s Not Like That” follows Malcolm, played by Scott Foley, a pastor who’s recently widowed and raising three kids on his own — not easy. Then there’s Lori, played by Erinn Hayes, who’s newly divorced and trying to keep life moving with two teens of her own.
The hook is that these two families already have a history. They used to do everything together, which makes this new phase even messier. Malcolm and Lori aren’t strangers meeting cute in a coffee shop — they’re two people who already know each other, already have kids tangled into the same orbit, and are now trying to navigate grief, divorce, parenting, loneliness, and whatever comes next. And of course, there’s the big question hanging over the whole thing: is this turning into a love story? The title says no. The premise says… maybe don’t be so sure.
