The Arrangement, an upcoming E! drama, is not about Scientology. And it is absolutely, definitely, in no way about Tom Cruise.

The series, which stars Christine Evangelista as a rising Hollywood star not named Katie Holmes and Josh Henderson as not-Tom not-Cruise, explores the latter’s connection to The Institute of the Higher Mind, which is not religious in nature and therefore absolutely not Scientology.

The Arrangement, which is definitely not comparable to UnREAL because it definitely does not seek to expose anything real about the industry in which it is set, kicks off with lead character Megan (Evangelista), who auditions for a part opposite Henderson’s Kyle and is subsequently presented with a $10 million marriage contract.

In an interview with The Wrap, the cast and creator of the show explain why The Arrangement is absolutely neither based on nor inspired by Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s alleged arranged marriage.

“I just saw this as a truly unique story that takes place in Hollywood and our characters are very unique in their own right,” says Henderson, and when asked if he studied Cruise in preparation for the role, he says, “not at all.”

At the TCAs press conference, creator Jonathan Abrahams answered many questions about Tom Cruise, and his answer basically amounted to the title of my favorite romantic comedy starring Ryan Reynolds.

When directly asked if he could legally acknowledge any comparisons (via Deadline), his response was crystal clear:

“Even if I could legally do it … I don’t have the authority to do it. I don’t know. It doesn’t matter, because it really isn’t.”

It really isn’t, you guys.

On the comparison between Scientology and his totally made-up Institute of the Higher Mind, Abrahams very emphatically points out to The Wrap that the two cannot possibly be compared because one is a religion and the other is not:

“It’s not a religion, it really is not a religion. I don’t mean that coyly. This is not a show about faith, that’s not the underlying theme, of ‘Do you believe or do you not believe?’ There are shows out there that examine that, but for me, it was really about — Hollywood is such an aspirational town, these self-help organizations are about aspiring to a higher way of living. Having more success in your profession, in relationships, a more fulfilling life is promised to you. ‘Come join our thing, do our program, spend X amount of dollars for the weekend intensive, and you can change your life.’ To me, that’s not really about faith, it’s about hope, aspiration. So, definitely not a religion.”

Just make sure you keep all that in mind when watching The Arrangement premiere on Sunday, March 5 at 10 p.m. ET on E!.

You absolutely would not want to make any real-life comparisons, not that there were any to be made, because we doubt these guys are interested in any kind of negative attention from anyone involved with any real-life people, arrangements or religious organizations that may or may not have seemed like a good topic for a TV series at the time.

But hey, it looks pretty cool anyway, so check out the trailer:

See? Definitely. no. relation.
