The BBC’s latest John Le Carre adaptation, The Little Drummer Girl, sees Charlie (played by Florence Pugh) meet mysterious stranger Gadi Becker (Alexander Skarsgard) on a beach in Greece.
Becker pulls the actress into an international espionage operation which could put her life at risk.
The first instalment will see the pair meet and actress Florence has hinted the ending is very similar to the opening episode.
Speaking to Radio Times, the 22-year-old stated “a lot” of characters end up hurt.
Dishing details of her character and how the story plays out for her, Florence said: “We meet her on stage.
“She’s being watched from afar by this mysterious golden man and so she gets caught up in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as you do.”
“It’s a little bit heartbreaking,” she continued.
“But six episodes later, you end up in more or less the same place, with lots of people hurt.”
Could this mean Charlie ends up back on stage where she began without Becker by her side?
Fans will just have to wait and see how the storyline unfolds for the pair.

Addressing how to embodied Charlie, Florence said she was determined not to look too cliche.
“I tried to look as mousey as possible and blend into the background,” she explained.
“It would be ridiculous to wear a red dress and red lipstick as a spy.”
She explained to the publication, she also had to careful about how much she bared in the BBC series, which will also air on AMC in the US.
“America is quite scared of bums,” Florence noted.
“And nipples. We had to make sure there were no bums and nipples out.”
She continued: “I don’t know why. Such strange people.”
Florence went on to detail how one scene, which sees Charlie and Becker naked in bed together, was difficult to film.
The young star was told by director Park Chan-Wook had to keep reminding her to hide her nipples.
The Little Drummer Girl airs on BBC One tonight at 9pm.
