Created by Mike Wolfe, American Pickers follows a team of antique "pickers" and history enthusiasts, including Frank Fritz and Danielle Colby, as they "scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing their amazing stories."
"There was this burning desire in me to be able to do it—to make something no one had ever made before," Wolfe said of creating the beloved series in a 2013 interview with Script. "To put fresh eyes on my world as a picker. To show another side of it. That was everything to me. But at the end of the day, it was all about the people I pick from—to give them a voice and to give the item a voice and showing the relationship there, showing an audience these places still exist and that there’s no such thing as a nobody."
American Pickers?
No, Colby did not leave American Pickers. The reality personality confirmed she was still on the show while announcing to fans that she would be canceling all of her burlesque shows "for the foreseeable future" due to a family member's undisclosed health issues in December 2024.

American Pickers Ending?
No, American Pickers is not ending. Wolfe confirmed that he and the rest of the cast of the show were gearing up to film Season 27 via Instagram in November 2024.
"Morning porch vibes from the great state of Tennessee. Enjoying some much needed down time before we start shooting a new season of @americanpickers," he wrote in a caption. "It was 2004 when I picked up a camera and started filming Frank and my Two Lane adventures. Now almost 500 episodes in."

American Pickers cast?
The main cast of American Pickers consists of Colby and Wolfe. Fritz was also on the cast from the show's 2010 premiere to 2020, when he left midway through Season 20. His exit was later confirmed by the network in 2021, per Entertainment Weekly.
Fritz died in September 2024 after suffering a stroke, according to TMZ, who obtained a copy of Fritz's death certificate the following month. He was 60 years old.

He added, "We’ve been on countless trips and shared so many miles and I feel blessed that I was there by his side when he took one last journey home. I love you buddy and will miss you so much I know you're in a better place."
American Pickers?
In July 2021, Fritz told The Sun that he hadn't spoken to Wolfe in two years, claiming that Wolfe "knew my back was messed up, but he didn’t call me up and ask how I was doing." He also alleged there was tension over their American Pickers fame.

“I’m truly saddened for the loss of Frank on the show,” she wrote via Instagram. “I’m incredibly sad for his struggles. I have personally watched everything over the last decade. I have many thoughts but won’t speak them as they are only my thoughts, not gospel. I wish things could have been different but we must be accountable for our actions when we cause instability or pain and suffering to others.”
Fritz then called Wolfe's statement about him leaving "bulls--t," which prompted Wolfe to speak out in a statement to The Sun about their friction.
More than a year after their public spat, Wolfe and Fritz reportedly reunited over Memorial Day weekend in May 2023 and hashed out their differences, according to The Quad-City Times.
