Mike Wolfe is set to make his return to reality TV with a new show on the HISTORY Channel!
The HISTORY Channel is expanding its unscripted lineup with a brand-new series spotlighting America’s most fascinating treasures, according to a press release.
“History’s Greatest Picks with Mike Wolfe” will premiere Sunday, February 22, at 9 p.m. ET, bringing viewers inside the stories, values and cultural impact behind some of the rarest and most iconic collectibles in history.

Wolfe Is Excited to Be Back in a New Show
While “American Pickers” focuses on the thrill of the hunt, “History’s Greatest Picks” zooms out to explore legendary finds that have already made history — and the journeys that turned them into cultural touchstones.
“I’ve been on the road filming ‘American Pickers’ for over a decade, tracking down hidden gems in the most unexpected places and connecting with fascinating people who are preserving history,” Wolfe said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to embarking on a new adventure, while continuing my lifelong passion of picking with this series. Viewers are in for a ride through the greatest finds of all time.”
Each episode will showcase an array of extraordinary artifacts, ranging from vintage cars and motorcycles to pop-culture memorabilia and rare historical oddities.
Wolfe guides viewers through how these pieces were discovered, how their value has evolved over the last 50 years, and why they continue to captivate collectors and historians alike. Expert insights and rich storytelling help contextualize each item, transforming objects into living pieces of American history.

The series is also part of the HISTORY Channel’s ambitious HISTORY Honors 250 initiative, a multi-year, multiplatform campaign leading up to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in July 2026.
Through original programming, digital content, live events and partnerships, HISTORY Honors 250 aims to spotlight the innovations, achievements and unsung heroes that have shaped the nation since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
With its blend of nostalgia, discovery and deep-dive storytelling, “History’s Greatest Picks” promises to offer history lovers and collectors alike a fresh look at the legendary items that continue to define America’s past — one unforgettable find at a time.
Prior to the announcement, Wolfe shared behind the scenes images to his social media account, as he was recording voice overs.
“VO in the studio for the new show I’m doing for @history that will air Feb 22nd,” Wolfe wrote. “It’s of course called ‘History Greatest Picks’… It’s nothing I’ve picked, it will be stories from other pickers and the artifacts they have found…. AND how they’ve changed hands over the past 50 years. Anything from Babe Ruth’s jersey to the Mustang from the movie ‘Bullet.’”
