Unfortunately there isn't much published for high tier content. My guess is that it is much harder for writers to content with the possibility of high level magic the players might have at that point, AND from a marketing standpoint it make sense that new adventures are available to start at level 1 (for new players)
Your only option is to Rise of Tiamat (which starts at level 7, and is really the conclusion of Hoard of the Dragon Queen) or shoehorning them into Out of the Abyss. Both of those books are designed to go up to level 15, so you could get 2-4 more levels of play. (but would effectively be cutting off about 3/4 of the Tiamat campaign and 1/2 of out of the Abyss).
I suppose you could also have the campaign somehow orchestrated or influenced by Acererak. And have the heroes go to the Tomb of Horrors to attempt to cut off his influence in the world. But you should know its a dungeon that is very much designed differently than modern ones and may end up wiping out the party. I suppose if you had a really dedicated group of players, you could play every hard cover campaign and capstone it with the tomb of horrors, with each new set of heroes having the advantage of the previous heroes progress.
Otherwise, you are on your own to create or find third party higher level content for them to continue.
My guess is WotC won't be making high level campaign books. You can simply run another campaign book, increasing the difficulty of the encounters. Curse of Strahd might be a good one, as it is more open and can perhaps suit your needs.
I would correct them and say that it doesn't make publishing adventures a challenge, but would make publishing a campaign scope type of book a challenge.
Dungeons & Dragons loves the amazing video streams produced by our fans. This community-generated live-play highlights what’s fantastic about D&D—sitting down together with your friends to tell a grand story!
To celebrate, we’ve invited a bunch of D&D streamers and luminaries to Seattle, Washington to hang out and roll some dice on June 2nd and 3rd! This two-day event is called the Stream of Annihilation and it’s two full days of streaming that D&D fans won’t want to miss. We’ll have folks from Misscliks, Maze Arcana, Critical Role, and Dice, Camera, Action! with Chris Perkins, not to mention international gaming groups like Yogscast's HighRollers (U.K.) and Dragon Friends (Australia).
Programming
Kicking off at 10am on both June 2nd and 3rd, hosts Anna Prosser Robinson and Kelly Link will talk to the Wizards of the Coast D&D team and learn all about our next exciting storyline coming in September. Then each group of streamers will play or share a sample of what to expect from the campaigns they’ll be running over the summer that preview the new D&D story. There will be multiple live games, interviews, new product unveils and improvised hilarity each day, starting at 10am PT and ending at 10pm each night. You’ll get introduced to the High Rollers crew delving into uncharted territory DMed by Mark Hulmes, a new Misscliks show investigating rumors called Risen, two weekly groups from our friends Satine Phoenix and Ruty Rutenberg at Maze Arcana, a new group of L.A. actors called Girls Guts Glory, and more!
Throughout the Stream of Annihilation, we’ll drop details on our expanded D&D Twitch programming, new accessories fans have been clamoring for coming later this year, and amazing board games and products from our partners. You’ll hear from Cryptic Studios about plans for Neverwinter, Curse Media for D&D Beyond, as well as WizKids, Gale Force 9, Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, and more. Plus, like any Dungeon Master worth their salt, we have a few exciting surprises to pull from our bags of holding!
It sounds more like a "Let's Play!" streaming event than a book release. (Though maybe the book they are teasing has stuff in it?)
The Next Exciting Storyline coming In September is....spoiler alert....a book!!!! Probably starting at roughly 4th level with a chapter to jump players from levels 1-3. It is certainly going to be a book release announcement. New Accessories sounds like additional resources (books? templates? etc?) and obviously the wizkids announcement will be the next D&D Minatures set that ties into the Storyline, with Gale Force 9 probably announcing a dungeon masters screen to go with it, and international release details.
The question is how much does the "Stream of Annihilation" preview in its title...my guess is that it does and is a hint in itself what the next storyline is going to be. Do doubtful the announcement is going to be anything for high level characters, but you never know.
A Paladin in Hell. It's an AD&D adventure you can buy and convert to 5th with a couple hours of prep work, and it's very challenging and cinematic. You can easily find a PDF copy to purchase with some Google skills.
No prob. AD&D was a treasure trove of mid and high level adventure mods. "The Gates of Firestorm Peak" and "The Axe of Dwarvish Lords," are both solid options as well.
You might want to see what product is coming out next. Hints abound that it might be a follow up to Storm kings Thunder... Or indirectly tied in via an item. So depending on what's revealed you could do some stand along adventures or have the PCs play through the Tomb of Horrors as a "non-canon" game. Or give them premade characters.

Storm King's Thunder is a level 1 to (levels 11 or 13) campaign. Is there a popular campaign after this one?

Mike Mearls had some stuff to say about this recently on the Sage Advice twitter.
I would correct them and say that it doesn't make publishing adventures a challenge, but would make publishing a campaign scope type of book a challenge.
Maybe something nice will be revealed that'll meet those expectations soon:

Doubtful.

If it's like every other book so far it'll pretty much stop around 12-15th level.
Well thanks for the advice everyone. I guess after STorm King's thunder, it's just time to write a new campaign from scratch.
Meaby in Yawning portal : against the giants could be a thing!?

A paladin in hell, very nice. Never heard of it. I'll check it out, thanks!
