Is ‘American Pickers’ really ending? Here’s what we know

“American Pickers” has a large and loyal fan following, and if you don’t believe it just check the numbers.

And one number — 27 — stick out there.

That is how many seasons the beloved show has had, but it looks like that might also be where it all comes to an end. One of the show’s stars, Danielle Colby, spilled the beans in an Instagram video celebrating her 50^th birthday Thursday.

“Something is happening that I have to talk to you about,” she said.

She then ran down how her birthday was going — including waking up and smoking a joint and then going to a pancake house — before getting into other life developments.

“Simultaneously, multiple things are happening,” she said. “I’m 50 years old today. We have just opened the Ecdysiast Arts Museum that I have wanted to open my entire adult life. So, finally we have that open, and I just found out that ‘American Pickers’ is done.

“So, I am at this epic crossroads where I’ve laid out what I want to do,” Colby continued. “So, I have that plan already in motion, but now is the time when I have to fully dig in and commit to this plan that I have laid out, and without the financial support of ‘American Pickers’ it’s going to be a wild one. So, now I just kind of have to mentally shift and figure out how to do this. Completely DIY, and it kind of takes me right back to where I started when ‘American Pickers’ started. I was doing burlesque and everything I was doing was DIY because I wasn’t getting paid by ‘American Pickers’ yet.”

The news of “American Pickers” coming to an end comes after the History Channel announced that show star Mike Wolfe would be getting a new show, “History’s Greatest Picks with Mike Wolfe,” starting in February of 2026.

There is at least a little hope for “American Pickers” fans, though.

A rep for the History Channel told Parade Magazine that new episodes are not being produced right now “but we could go back into production early next year.”
