Scott Foley Joins ‘It’s Not Like That’ Table Read

First Table Read Sparks Enthusiasm

Scott Foley took to Instagram this week to share a behind-the-scenes moment from the first table read of Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming dramedy, It’s Not Like That (#INLT). In a caption alongside a photo of scripts and a packed reading room, the Scandal alum wrote, “First table read for #ItsNotLikeThat #INLT You guys…it’s so good, touching, funny, heartwarming and I’m thrilled to be a part of this whole party! #prime #amazon.”

Table reads are often the first time an ensemble cast gathers to bring pages to life, and Foley’s enthusiasm suggests the series is off to a promising start. The actor’s praise—highlighting the script’s blend of humor and heart—has already generated buzz among fans who follow his career closely.

A Star-studded Ensemble

While Amazon is keeping much of the cast under wraps, it’s clear Foley will be joined by a mix of established stars and fresh faces. Early press materials describe It’s Not Like That as a character-driven workplace dramedy that explores the quirks and camaraderie of an unconventional office setting. According to an Amazon spokesperson, the show strikes a balance between laugh-out-loud moments and genuine emotion—echoing Foley’s own description from the table read.

Industry insiders report that the pilot was penned by a duo known for blending comedy with human stories. Amazon Prime Video programming head Vernon Sanders said in a statement, “It’s Not Like That feels both timely and timeless. Scott Foley’s range makes him the perfect anchor for a show that’s equal parts wit and warmth.” Filming is slated to begin later this spring in Los Angeles, with a series premiere expected in early 2025.

Foley’s Tv Track Record

Scott Foley has spent two decades navigating network TV and streaming hits. He first gained major attention as Noah Braverman in Felicity, then earned wider acclaim for his turn as Jake Ballard on ABC’s Scandal. He went on to lead Paramount Network’s military drama The Unit and made guest appearances on shows like House.

More recently, Foley has headlined the crime series Will Trent on Hulu, where he portrays FBI agent Will Trent adapting to his new team in Atlanta. In a separate Instagram post, Foley’s co-star captioned a photo of an emotional season finale moment: “Who else cried during this moment with Angie and Seth? The season finale of #WillTrent is streaming on Hulu.” That show’s success has cemented Foley’s status as a versatile leading man across genres.

On the personal front, Foley balances steady work with family life. He and his wife, actress Marika Domińczyk, share three children. While neither has announced plans to bring the kids on set, fans can follow behind-the-scenes glimpses on their Instagram feeds.

Looking ahead, viewers will have plenty of Foley to watch. Between the high-concept workplace comedy of It’s Not Like That and the procedural momentum of Will Trent, the actor is poised for a year that showcases both his comedic timing and dramatic chops.

Whether he’s navigating corporate shenanigans or cracking tough cases, Scott Foley continues to prove there’s more to him than just a pretty face—though that never hurts around a table read.
