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.

Honestly my thought on that is they had a story they wanted to write but felt they needed to use a popular IP as a 'wrapper' to get attention.

They never wanted to tell the Witcher story. They just wanted the viewership from the fans.
