Its on several news sites:

Basically the show is getting too costly for Fox to produce, with the salaries for the voice actors and them refusing to take pay cuts, to the point where the actual animation is most expensive than the likes of Family guy, etc.

I know this has happened in the past with this show, and the voice actors eventually negotiated, but the fact that they're asking for back-end pay now, it seems that the show could realistically end. For the record, no Season 24 has currently been ordered at all at this point.

Good thing is the show officially hits the 500th episode milestone this season, so if this is the end, it is time.
