Liam Hemsworth may be replacing Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in "The Witcher," but Netflix really wants fans to know that Cavill will be around for Season 3 of their hit fantasy series.

In a tweet from the show's official Twitter account dated July 3, 2023, billboards were seen plastered with the succinct message: "Yes. He's Still Geralt In Season 3."

The tweet has, at press time, been viewed more than 1.1 million times. It's also drawn the ire of Twitter users who are still really angry about Cavill being replaced.

"The fact that they have to remind people that he's still on it just so they will tune in absolutely says it all about where this series is heading," said a Twitter user named Gregson Arsenal. "What will they do next season?"

"I'd be more excited if it said he was RETURNING in season 4," said another Twitter user named Travis Thompson.

Cavill said in an Instagram post on October 30 that he would not be reprising his role as Geralt after the show's third season. In the same post, Cavill also announced Hemsworth would be the man to replace him.

A Netflix representative told Insider that the company had no further comment on the matter beyond what's already been shared about the recasting.

Representatives for Cavill and Hemsworth did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
