TLDR: As Henry Cavill is leaving after season 3, these are the billboards Netflix has placed around the UK declaring, pathetically, that “Yes, he’s still Geralt in Season 3”. This is not a joke. This is real. The Witcher Twitter account is tweeting it.

I think it's a wise advertising strategy. I had heard that Cavill was out, and I assumed that meant he wouldn't be in season 3. That reduced the odds of me watching season 3, since the writing of season 2 was...well, you know. Now that I know he's still in it, I will definitely watch the next season.

Also, this in no way throws anyone under the bus. Clickbait headline.
