There was speculation for February this year but I guess we're gonna have to wait till some time next year. They better hurry up they might get shytted on by Amazon's ZeroZeroZero series that's coming out early next year.

2019 has highlighted that traditional TV format helps. Baby Yoda dominated media for two months. No one gonna be talking, writing, or watching The Witcher in two weeks.

That was because baby yoda is cute. The witcher does not have that.

It's not just about what it does and doesn't have, it's how long it stays in the mind of viewers and retains a hold of the zeitgeist.
2019 in TV has been defined by shows (good or bad doesn't matter, just talking about presence) by shows with a traditional schedule.

What about shows like Power, though? It doesn't have that and it was arguably written pretty poorly this season, but I've seen it consistently mentioned on social media.

Yeah baby yoda kept people interested. If it was just the mando it would prob would not even if did not come out every week.

I dont watch power.
But it looks like they are using soap opera tactics with this who shot JR storyline.

You're missing the point. Baby Yoda kept people interested, for eight weeks. It doesn't matter what The Witcher does or doesn't have, it's only going to be a factor for a weekend, a week tops.
Stranger Things is one of the cutest shows out there and struggles to stay relevant for more than a week or two.
The same-day season was a revelation for Netflix near the start of this decade but as it came to a close, the power of weekly format flexed and has remained king. At this point Netflix is selling itself short with its release format. Not only did it dominate the landscape for a long time, it got at least one, and will get a lot of 2nd renewals out of people who didn't catch the finale before their subscription expired. Ditto GoT early this year for HBO.
