SQUAD GOALS American Pickers’ Mike Wolfe gushes over show crew in heartfelt post after confirming future of series

AMERICAN Pickers star Mike Wolfe is giving a shout-out to the production crew while filming new episodes of his History Channel series.

The update comes after the fate of American Pickers was revealed, following Season 25’s battle with low ratings earlier this year.

Mike, 60, shared a new photo to his Instagram Stories while standing outside his Antique Archaeology-branded van.

The reality star posed in the center around several crew members as they all took a break from filming.

“My road family God I love my crew,” The History Channel star wrote.

LOVIN’ THE CREW
Mike also showed off more crew members standing with film equipment on their backs and shoulders.

His co-star, Jon Szalay, 61, was also seen at the front of the shot.

In the caption, Mike noted that he has closely worked with many of the same crew members on American Pickers for over a decade.

“Some of the people in this shot have been with me going on 16 years now and a lot for over 10 years,” he said.

“Living and working side by side with them has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.”

Mike said that after he originally spent five years pitching American Pickers, he never thought in his “wildest dreams” how the show would “resonate with so many millions of people across the globe.”

“It shows me that history matters and the stories we uncover connect us all,” the reality star added.

“At a time when we all seem so divided we can still escape into the past for these little moments we create to find peace and common ground.”

SO, WHAT’S TO COME?
Mike, his brother Robbie, Jon, and their fellow co-star, Danielle Colby, 48, have been filming new episodes of the longtime show over the past few months.

Season 25, which wrapped up earlier this year, had lower ratings than previous seasons.

The season found its largest audience on January 24 with 948,000 viewers.

However, the fate of American Pickers was recently revealed, leaving fans excited for what’s to come.

In May, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the show was renewed for three more years.

“They are filming, they just got back from Louisiana,” a source said at the time.

“They’re filming for Season 26 and they have signed on for three more years.”

The show faced a dip in viewership after the show axed original cast member, Frank Fritz, 58.

Frank last appeared on the show in 2020 and was officially fired one year later.
