As of now (8/1/2019) Comedy Central hasn't officially renewed the show for Season 24. While it seems unlikely that this will be final season, it also seems weird that no renewal has been annouced so late into the current contract. For context, the last renewal was made two years before the end of the then-current contract.

The future of the show seems to be up in the air right now. I mean the show is still funny but there has definitelty been a decline in recent years. And that's not just a subjective take because even Matt and Trey have been putting dialouge in recently that kind of acknowledge their decline ("I've had it. School shootings, pieces of shit taking Ambien and tweeting, priests raping kids, and somehow I'm not laughing anymore." "How come everything out there is getting cancelled, but when it comes to us, we just can't do it? I mean, are we supposed to just keep going? Just go on, making total asses of ourselves?").

There's also the fact that the kid's voices are becoming more diffcult to pull off (I mean just listen to Kyle and Butters in Season 22, you can definitely hear the struggle), and also the show isn't even able to pull in a million viewers per episode when only a few years ago the show could easily pull in 2 to 3 million.

I mean maybe Comedy Central is on the fence right now and they may end up renewing it before the end of the season, but even if they do, the writing is definitely on the wall. I honestly don't see the problem with this being the final season. Not only is 300 episodes a good place to end but continuing the show any further is just going to turn it into what The Simpsons is now.
