Popular ‘American Pickers’ TV series is coming to NC. How to apply to be on the show
A popular reality television show known for transforming trash into treasure is coming to North Carolina.
The History Channel’s “American Pickers” series will be filming across the state in February.
Starring Mike Wolfe, Danielle Colby, Robbie Wolfe and Jersey Jon, the documentary series focuses on the team of skilled pickers as they search for “America’s most valuable antiques.”
‘The mission to recycle America’
“As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics,” according to a description of the show.
“Along the way, they want to meet characters with amazing stories and fun items. They hope to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.”
After 26 seasons with 392 episodes, the Pickers are returning to the Tar Heel state in hopes of finding new hidden treasures from North Carolinians with “unique items, a story to tell, and ready to sell.”
