‘American Pickers’ is coming to Mississippi. Here’s how you can get on the show.

They travel the country in search of old bicycles and motorcycles, advertising signs and antique toys, and now the “American Pickers” crew is returning to Mississippi.

Mike Wolfe and the other stars of The History Channel television plan to film episodes in February in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana as their first pick on 2022, according to their social media post.

The producers are looking for leads from Mississippi residents who have large, private collections or accumulations of antiques that the Pickers can spend part of a day picking through.

They hunt for the most unusual and desirable antiques and collectibles and hear tales about the objects and the people who collect them.

The show documents the historically significant items they find and buy, and the items’ link to America’s past.

Protocols and guidelines for filming during the COVID-19 pandemic will be followed.

Those who have a large collection or assortment of old items and want to be considered for the show should send their name, phone number, location and a description of the collection with photos to: americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 646-493-2184.
