Is American Pickers canceled?
No, History Channel has not confirmed an official cancellation for the show. However, Colby recently made a comment on Instagram that seems to hint that it’s coming to an end. While discussing their 50th birthday, Colby opened up about transitions in their life, including one involving the reality show.
“I just found out that American Pickers is done,” they said. “So, I am at this epic crossroads where I’ve laid out what I want to do. So I already have that plan in motion. But now is the time where I like have to, like, fully dig in and commit to this plan that I have laid out. And without the financial support of American Pickers, it’s going to be a wild one.”
