The History Channel series American Pickers will arrive in Arizona in December 2026 to film new segments. Producers are actively searching for individuals with unique private antique collections to feature on the show.
Why it matters
The show focuses on uncovering rare objects and pieces of American history found within private homes. By scouting local collections, the production highlights historical items that are not typically available to the public.
Interested residents must provide their name, location, contact details, and a description of their collection. Submissions must include photographs and the stories behind their items.
