American Pickers has a premiere date for Season 27, the show's star Danielle Colby told Newsweek.
The Context
American Pickers quickly became a History Channel hit following its debut in January 2010. The series follows collectors in search of unique artifacts in small towns and back roads throughout the United States.
The show was first hosted by Mike Wolfe and his childhood pal, Frank Fritz, while Colby—who is also a longtime friend of Wolfe—worked as his office manager for his antique store, Antique Archaeology.
Following Fritz's death in September 2024, the show has continued with Wolfe's brother, Rob Wolfe.

American Pickers' new season will premiere on July 2 on the History Channel, Colby told Newsweek.
"It is confirmed! It is July 2," they said.
Season 26 concluded in January, and fans have been waiting patiently for the next season to begin.
While speaking with Newsweek, Colby—who prefers "they/them" pronouns—revealed their favorite memories from the show. "I just love our time on the road because our time in the road is freedom," they said. "We have an opportunity to just kind of absorb ourselves in what we love."
They added that the "Mole Man" episode from Season 1 was their "favorite," noting that their conversation with Wolfe was something "nobody else is privy to."
"Mole Man" aired in March 2010 and featured "Mole Man" Ron, a collector with a 26-room underground storage space.
"Those conversations were incredible, and it was a magical moment for TV, and it was a magical moment for all of us because we were all experiencing something new and different as well."
What People Are Saying
In an interview with People in March, Wolfe said American Pickers would go on hiatus after filming wraps in June: "We haven't done that in 15 years, so that's going to feel good. For 15 years, we have just been going and going and going... I think we're going to have at least four or five months off, so it's going to be good."
What Happens Next
On Saturday, June 21, Colby opened their burlesque museum called the Ecdysiast Arts Museum in Davenport, Iowa. They told Newsweek that their husband, Jeremy Scheuch, and their children, Miles and Memphis, pitched in to help ahead of its grand opening.
American Pickers Season 27 returns on Wednesday, July 2, at 9 p.m. ET on the History Channel.
