Noah's Arc is an American cable television dramedy. The series, which predominantly features gay black and Latino characters, focused on many socially relevant issues, including same sex dating, same-sex marriage, same-sex parenthood, HIV and AIDS awareness, infidelity, promiscuity, homophobia, gay bashing. It ran from October 19, 2005, to October 4, 2006. After its cancellation, a film was produced entitled Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom, which was released theatrically in 2008.
The show revolves around the lives of four black gay friends living in Los Angeles. It premiered in October 2005 on the Logo cable-television network, quickly becoming the network's most popular program. Season one was filmed in Los Angeles, while season two was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Based in part on Patrik-Ian Polk's 2001 independent film Punks,Noah's Arc rose from humble beginnings. The original one-hour pilot was produced independently in 2004, and to assist in funding each episode, the show was originally envisioned as a DVD subscription series. During the filming of the pilot episode, Rodney Chester – who portrays Alex in the show – used his own truck as a makeshift hair, make-up and dressing room. After the pilot episode was well received at film festivals and independent screenings, the series was picked up by MTV-affiliated cable network Logo as a half-hour series. The pilot, "My One Temptation", was re-written and re-shot as a two-part premiere episode, and Noah's Arc became LOGO's first scripted series. The opening credits theme song is "Remember The Love" (Samba Mix) by Adriana Evans.
