A new weekly episode of It’s Not Like That is ready for fans of the heartfelt family drama. The show, which follows two families navigating loss and new beginnings, premiered on January 25, 2026. The first two episodes arrived that day, starting the eight-episode season. Now, the story continues with the next installment. Here is everything you need to know about when and where to watch Episode 3, along with details on the cast and what the series is about.
It’s Not Like That Episode 3 Release Date and Time
It’s Not Like That Episode 3 is scheduled to release on Sunday, February 1, 2026. The series follows a weekly release pattern on the Wonder Project channel, available through Amazon Prime Video.
For viewers in the United States, new episodes typically become available to stream at 12:00 AM Pacific Time (PT) / 3:00 AM Eastern Time (ET). This weekly schedule will continue until the season finale airs on March 8, 2026.
The show is currently available on Wonder Project, which is a subscription-based channel accessed through an Amazon Prime Video account. U.S. Prime Video subscribers can watch the first episode for free as a sample. Plans for a wider global release on Prime Video in other countries are expected to be announced later.
Where to Watch It’s Not Like That
The primary streaming home for It’s Not Like That is the Wonder Project channel on Amazon Prime Video. Wonder Project is a faith-oriented streaming service that operates as an add-on subscription within Prime Video.
To watch Episode 3 and the rest of the season, here are the steps:
- Have an active Amazon Prime subscription.
- Add the Wonder Project channel to your Prime Video account. This requires a separate subscription fee.
- Search for “It’s Not Like That” within Prime Video to find the series page.
The first episode of the series is available for all U.S. Prime subscribers to watch for free, without the Wonder Project add-on, as a preview. This allows viewers to try the show before committing to the additional channel subscription.
Recap of the Story and Main Cast
It’s Not Like That is a family drama created by Ian Deitchman and Kristin Rusk Robinson, who are known for their work on shows like Parenthood. The series centers on two longtime friends and their families dealing with major life changes.
The story follows Malcolm, a recently widowed pastor played by Scott Foley, who is raising his three children alone. His friend Lori, portrayed by Erinn Hayes, is a recently divorced mother of two teenagers. As both adjust to single parenthood, their close friendship leads them to wonder if there could be something more between them.
Star Erinn Hayes described the show’s universal message, saying, “We are technically a faith-based show but I think that the message is nothing other than kindness and compassion and meeting other people with grace. That is [a message for] all humans.”
The main cast includes:
- Scott Foley as Malcolm
- Erinn Hayes as Lori
- J.R. Ramirez as David Soto
- Liv Lindell as Casey Soto
- Caleb Baumann as Merritt Soto
- Cary Christopher as Justin Jeffries
- Leven Miranda as Flora Jeffries
- Cassidy Paul as Penelope Jeffries
The show films in Atlanta and aims to present themes of faith and personal struggle in a relatable, everyday manner. Hayes has compared its tone to the popular Netflix dramedy Nobody Wants This, emphasizing that while one character is a pastor, the series is not about pushing religion.
What to Expect from the Rest of Season 1
With Episode 3 arriving on February 1, the season will continue with new episodes every Sunday. The full release schedule for the eight-episode first season is as follows:
