Sink, who plays Max Mayfield, previously said the fourth series will be “really dark”.
Speaking in June, she told the PA news agency: “It’s definitely a really, really dark season.
“Each season the production scale gets bigger and bigger and the stakes are really, really high this year, as they are always.
“But there’s something about this season, it’s really intense.”
