Trey Parker and Matt Stone will get plenty of more chances to kill Kenny. South Park, Comedy Central’s flagship show, has just been renewed for three more seasons.

The unprecedented deal will bring the show up to 23 seasons and an astonishing 304 episodes. This makes it the longest-running scripted primetime show in cable history.

In addition to the massive deal with Comedy Central, South Park Digital Studios - the online venture between creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Viacom - also struck a deal with Hulu. That deal will make the streaming service the exclusive home for new episodes and the entire library of 254 South Park episodes.

“Nearly two decades later, South Park today remains as important and influential as any series on any platform and has become one of the most recognizable brands to ever come out of television,” Doug Herzog, President, Viacom Music & Entertainment Group said in a statement. “Through South Park Digital Studios we will continue to aggressively expand the reach of the South Park brand by pursuing additional extensions and licensing opportunities worldwide.”

“We love working for Doug and with everyone at Comedy Central. They’ve given us an insane level of artistic and creative freedom for almost 20 years. They walk the walk,” Parker and Stone added.

The deal comes just days after Parker and Stone told IGN that they would keep making the show until Comedy Central cancelled it. Well, it looks like they won’t have to worry about that for another three years.

While the show’s creativity might have waned in recent years, Parker and Stone still enjoy pushing the envelope as far as they can. That has earned them an incredible fanbase with over 46 million Facebook fans and over 1.7 million Twitter followers. In addition, its 18th season was the top-rated primetime series on Wednesdays among Men 18-34 and Men 18-24.

As long as that core demographic - which has never experienced a life without South Park - keeps watching, Parker and Stone will keep making it.

The 19th season of South Park starts on Sept. 23.
