'American Pickers' will return to Missouri. Here's how to try to get on the show

"American Pickers" is returning to Missouri and the antique-hunting television hosts are on the lookout for rare items and unforgettable characters.

Aired on The History Channel, "American Pickers" is a documentary series that follows Mike Wolfe, Danielle Colby, Robbie Wolfe and Jersey Jon, "picking" through valuable antiques across the country. The 25-season series has been on air since 2010.

The production of "American Pickers" is visiting Missouri in June and is looking for collectors who are interested in being featured on the show. To inquire, collectors should contact the production team by phone at 646-493-2184 or by email at AmericanPickers@cineflix.com. Collectors should be prepared to share their full name, city and state, contact information and a brief description of their collection. Only private collections will be considered for the series, not stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auctions or other businesses open to the public.

What happened to Frank Fritz?

For long-time audiences of "American Pickers," it may come as a surprise that co-host Frank Fritz is no longer a part of the series. In July 2022, Fritz suffered a stroke and was temporarily placed under guardianship, according to the Des Moines Register.

In November 2023, the Register published a story about Fritz's first public appearance since his stroke, enjoying a meal at a pub with friends in the Illinois Quad Cities. There has been no mention of a potential return to the series for Fritz.
