Yeah... don't really see it being him.

The end of the season tried to be "ambiguous" with what happened to Hargrove, but... not really because it's obvious what happens to Hargrove. They just didn't show all the "details", I guess. Of course the Reds and Blues win, otherwise we don't have a show, then he gets arrested and everyone celebrates/cries about Church and blah blah blah. But maybe, just maybe, this means that with Project Freelancer and Charon Industries gone, we can finally move away from things related to Freelancer. If there's any new villains they'll be from something completely different. That's what I hope, anyway.

I also hope they don't use another straight-up "good vs evil" formula, because the world isn't black and white and that kind of storytelling is very limited. With how far this show has come, it's about time they tried something new. The Chorus arc had it's flaws, and it definitely wasn't perfect, though I believe it was a step in the right direction.

Or maybe the Counselor just becomes a giant evil zombie or something and fucks with them for the rest of the series hell if I know.
