The anime has been going off course of the light novels, which a lot of people don't like. So its not surprising there is no a lot of hype given what happened at the end of last season. In comparison, there was a lot of hype for the second and third season because the previous seasons were good. So, don't worry, when season 4 airs, if it does well, the hype train will continue. Its just they are having a hard time justifying a new season after the last season fell flat like it did, but after Nanatsu no Taizai, there should be an opening for it.
