From a shocking Will Trent<\/em> death to multiple cancellations, Scott Foley<\/strong><\/a> hasn\u2019t had the best luck when it comes to TV roles.<\/p>\n

Foley is known for his appearance<\/a> on various TV shows, including his work on The Unit, Scrubs, Felicity<\/em> and Scandal<\/em>. He has also guest starred on Grey\u2019s Anatomy, Dawson\u2019s Creek<\/em> and House<\/em>, though his onscreen arcs have usually been cut short or ended tragically.<\/p>\n

After Foley joined Will Trent<\/em> in 2025<\/a>, there were concerns that his character, Seth, wouldn\u2019t make it for the long haul. A May 2026 episode showed Angie (Erika Christensen<\/strong>) finally giving birth, but her happiness was short-lived as Seth, her husband, died after collapsing in the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a wonderful gift to receive after a wonderful experience on #willtrent,\u201d Foley wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of his name in the show\u2019s title card. \u201cThanks to the cast and crew, the writers and creators who made the experience so special.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIt is never easy to unexpectedly say goodbye to your favorite characters \u2014 and 2026 has featured an influx of shocking departures on our TV screens from Grey\u2019s Anatomy\u00a0to Virgin River. Virgin River fans were surprised when showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed multiple characters were written off the show after season 7. Marco Grazzini addressed [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He added, \u201cThis will surely make my wife and daughter say \u2018Awww\u2019 each time they pass by and really, that\u2019s enough for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Months later, Foley broke his silence about his latest show\u2019s cancellation. He took to Instagram in July 2026 to address Prime Video not renewing his faith-focused series, It\u2019s Not Like That<\/em>,<\/a> for a second season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter six or so weeks in Prime Video\u2019s Top 10, I think getting as high as, like, three or four, really great reviews \u2014 I think we have like 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes \u2014 our little show called It\u2019s Not Like That has been canceled at Amazon Prime,\u201d he began in the video, admitting he was \u201cdisappointed\u201d by the news.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m so grateful for the chance. I get to make \u2014 I got to make a show I\u2019m so proud of with people I grew to like a lot, and now we don\u2019t get to make it anymore, and you don\u2019t get to watch it,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf you watched it, thank you. I appreciate it. If you didn\u2019t, it\u2019s still on Amazon Prime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foley added, \u201cIt\u2019s not going to change the cancellation, but I wanted to thank everybody who took the time to check it out. Whether it was you found it on your own, whether it was a recommendation you saw on social media, it\u2019s appreciated. So thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
