The Trailer For 'Submission' Puts The Sex In 'Fifty Shades' To Shame

If "Fifty Shades of Grey" was meant for the "mom" crowd, then Showtime's new scripted mini-series “Submission” is for the more adventurous type.

From the mind of acclaimed adult film director Jacky St. James, the six half-hour episodes debuting May 12 dive deep into the world of BDSM. The series follows a young woman, Ashley, who becomes involved with a mysterious erotic novelist, Nolan Keats, after reading his book, Slave.

Anastasia-Steele-turned-up enters into the complex world of whips, chains, swings and more, as she falls into a dangerous love triangle only to discover her own sexual boundaries and the endless possibilities of BDSM. 

"Submission" premieres May 12 on Showtime at 11 p.m. ET.
