Back in 2022 it was announced that Henry was stepping down after three years of playing the monster-hunting Geralt of Rivia character, with Liam stepping in to replace him.
The synopsis for The Witcher reads: 'Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.'
Henry, 40, concluded his run on the series when the third season aired over the summer in two parts.
When Henry first announced that he was leaving The Witcher, rumors circulated that his exit was prompted by a feud with creator and showrunner Lauren Hissrich.
Lauren herself gave no indication of any bad blood with Henry, telling NME at the time that the two of them enjoyed a 'mutually respectful relationship.'
Of the upcoming seasons and conclusion of the series the showrunner said: 'It is with huge pride that we begin shooting our penultimate Season of The Witcher with a stellar cast, including some exciting new additions, led by Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia.
'We’re thrilled to be able to bring Andrzej Sapkowski’s books to an epic and satisfying conclusion. It wouldn’t be our show if we didn’t push our family of characters to their absolute limit — stay tuned to see how the story ends.'
The upcoming season will follow Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other.

According to a press release: 'If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire — and finding one another again.'
The Witcher is based on a book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.
The final two seasons are said to adapt the remaining of his books Baptism Of Fire, The Tower Of The Swallow, and Lady Of The Lake while promising to offer a conclusion to the series that is both epic and satisfying.
Meanwhile Liam has made waves with his transformed physique with insiders revealing his impressive new physique is mostly thanks to an intense form of Japanese interval training that was initially designed to get the nation's speed skaters into shape.
The training, called Tabata, has proved crucial to Hemsworth's extreme increase in muscle mass, according to Augustman.
It was designed in the 1996 by it's namesake, Dr Izumi Tabata from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports at Kagoshima Prefecture, according to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
