ALL THE STARS LOVE ATLANTA 🤩 Nothing like getting the chance to speak to true talent about their latest projects – and their love for Atlanta of course! Scott Foley, Erinn Hayes and J.R. Ramirez have an amazing new show, “It’s Not Like That,” available on Wonder Project on Prime Video. Not only is the show AMAZING but it was also filmed in and around Atlanta, so you know we had to talk about their favorite places and restaurants 😉 @Vicky Ro The show follows Malcolm (Scott Foley), a pastor and recently widowed dad of three. Lori (Erinn Hayes) is freshly divorced with two teens. Their families once did everything together, but now Malcolm and Lori must navigate their newly minted singledom, parenthood and the complexities of Malcolm being a modern-day pastor. Is this the beginning of a love story? It’s not like that. Or is it? The series features Scott Foley (Scandal, Felicity, Will Trent) as Pastor Malcolm Jeffries, Erinn Hayes (Kevin Can Wait, Children’s Hospital) as Lori Soto, J.R. Ramirez (Manifest, Power) as David Soto and more! Catch the first two episodes on Wonder Project’s subscription on Prime Video on Sunday, January 25!
