Acclaimed writer and director Jacky St. James helms the new feature with Penny Pax reprising her AVN award-winning role (2016 Best Actress) as Emma Marx and beautiful and talented up-and-comer Violet Starr making her feature film debut as Mariah, Emma's sub.

"This may be my favorite 'Emma' of all the installments in the series," Jacky St. James said. "From the acting to the cinematography to the music and to the way everyone came together — we created something magical. This is a re-imagining of what could be for Emma. Fans of the series are going to see something edgy, sexy, and emotional, captured perfectly by Eddie Powell's masterful lens."

Penny Pax said, "I am beyond thrilled that we have most of the team all back together for a fourth movie! This time we have a new lady I think everyone is going to fall in love with just like I did! It's an exciting new storyline. I can't wait for everyone to see it!"

Set two years after the events of "The Submission of Emma Marx: Exposed," the new sequel finds Emma moving past the tragic loss of her lover and Dom, William Fredrick, and taking on a spirited young woman as her sub — a challenge that will test Emma's resolve.

"The Submission of Emma Marx IV: Evolved" also sees the return of superstar Riley Reid as Emma's sweet, but self-centered, sister Nadia, now at an emotional crossroads with husband and baby-daddy Ray, played once more by Van Wylde. The role earned Reid wins for Best Supporting Actress at the 2014 and 2016 XBIZ Awards.

"My character is just a mess of a woman who doesn't really know what she wants and is stuck in her 'normal' mindset — she thinks she's exploring but it's hardly that," Riley Reid said. "Emma is the one transforming and growing beyond what she even thought was possible. I love how the story continues to evolve and that the viewers are so hungry to see what happens next."

"The Submission of Emma Marx IV: Evolved" also features performances by 2017 AVN Male Performer of the Year Mick Blue, Damon Dice, Jay Smooth, John Strong, Mike Mancini, and 2017 AVN Best Male Newcomer Ricky Johnson.
