For this who don't seem to understand the show, the Oni and the Dragon are from the First Realm. The First Spinjitzu Master was born from a Dragon and an Oni, giving him control over both Creation and Destruction.

To avoid the war between the two races, he used his power to flee their realm and created his own world, Ninjago, balanced between Light and Darkness, Creation and Destruction.

The First Spinjitzu Master became a symbol of peace, his Dragon side more prominent than his Oni side. In order to keep the realm in balance, the darkness that existed in Ninjago manifested into the Overlord.

The Final Battle occured and the First Spinjitzu Master gave birth to two sons, one whose Dragon half was more prominent and the older, more prominently an Oni. The Overlord began pulling strings behind the scenes in order to awaken Garmadon's Oni side so he could manipulate it and restart the Final Battle, only this time, emerging victorious.

Also, why would the Overlord return anytime soon when the show's own writers have said he'll lay in dormancy for awhile after his defeat? Plus, wouldn't it be boring to keep having the,same villain return just to keep getting defeated? Come on guys, I know he's cool, but he's not coming back soon! He's not even some ultimate evil, just the big bad of fhis realm, which we know to be one of 16!

Also, I always question the obligatory demand for a big bad to revive and team up with all villains (Day of the Departed even avoided doing that and had each villain do their own thing because the writers know plots like that don't usually work well and wouldn't with this cast of villains). Most of Ninjago's villains wouldn't be able to work together, no doubt they'd turn on the Overlord and he's not dumb, he knows this. Having him come back, ally with the Oni and the other villains you mentioned, and bring back all these villains for no reason, however it is you think he'd do that anyway, would all be convoluted, rushed, messy, unneeded, and would be such a big departure from what Hunted is supposed to be about. Not to mention it would be pointless and if something like that were to happen, it'd need a lot more time to develop and would be more worthy for a finale if anything.
