All right, usually The Hunt doesn't debut in the summer so I wanted to hold off but I figure since it's now been over half a year since season 3 and The Hunt is expected to return we may as well do a season 4 thread anyway. 
This thread of course is dedicated to discussion of expected possible cases before the season, and discussing the show once the season starts.
EDIT: All cases now confirmed. Below is information for season 4
