One thing that tells us they're going to be trying extra hard to make Season 4 good enough to please the pickier bronies: Derpy is coming back, when they tried to either give her Chuck Cunningham Syndrome (vanish from the story without explanation) or restrict her returns to small second-long cameos in Season 3

I don't think they'll want to bring Chrysalis back. Before Keep Calm, she was tied with Discord as best villain, Discord returned first because his defeat seemed less "final" than a potential Disney Villain Death, or her horn being broken in two, if you take comics as canon, and on that note Chrysalis did return in the comics (even if many don't take them as canon), and Discord was a fun guy to have around, and what the EoH book said about "telling new stories with his character" by reforming him... and we all saw how that turned out, they'll want to avoid "ruining Chrysalis's character" somehow. If she reforms, more people myself included will be disappointed than with Discord. If she dies, people are sure to complain that the best villain is dead. If neither happens, people will complain "Karma houdini!" So I think the best choice would be to leave her off where she is, and let fans decide her ultimate fate
