American Pickers Returning to Illinois and Iowa

The American Pickers television show plans to return to Illinois and Iowa in September 2026 to film episodes of the History Channel documentary series.

The series follows skilled antique pickers as they travel across the country searching for valuable, rare and historically significant items. The show also highlights collectors and the stories behind their belongings.

During the upcoming trip, the Pickers hope to find unusual collections, forgotten relics and items they have not encountered before. They are also looking to meet people with interesting stories who are willing to sell pieces from their collections.

The show is seeking leads from residents throughout Illinois and Iowa. People interested in being considered should provide their name, phone number, location, a description of the collection and photos.

The Pickers do not visit stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses, museums or other locations open to the public.
