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 channel 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.

Noah's Arc was the network's highest-rated original series; however, shortly after the season two cliffhanger finale aired, LOGO announced that the series had been cancelled. The network was surprised by the negative reaction of viewers to the show's cancellation and stated that the series may return if the planned motion picture proved successful. Two years later, Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom opened in theaters in limited release. It entered the chart at number thirty-four with an opening weekend gross of $151,337. It had a per screen average of over $30,000, reaching second place on the top per screen average rankings list for that weekend. It narrowly missed the number-one slot, which was taken by the Clint Eastwood film Changeling. The film earned a total domestic gross of $532,878 during its theatrical run.
