Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month, the 38-year-old actress said: "I feel like we've built something over the past three seasons that quite rightly needs to be fulfilled. And I think that we do that this season. With season four, we fulfil a lot of the promises that we've made over the past three years."
"We really get to see, not just June, but a lot of these characters go to places they've not been before and change dramatically," she continued, adding: "It's a huge season."

Elisabeth also spoke about what it was like to step behind the camera for the first time this season as a director, revealing that because of coronavirus she ended up taking the helm on three of the new episodes, rather than one as she originally planned.
"Episode three was going to be my directorial debut before Covid, and we started it, but then we shut down for six months," Elisabeth said, explaining that when filming finally resumed, she was asked to direct episode eight and nine too.
