The long-running series, now entering its 24th season, follows two antiques collectors, originally Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, recently replaced by Robbie Wolfe, and their right hand Danielle Colby, as they go out across the country on the hunt for American collectibles to restore and resell. Diving into piles of grimy junk, digging through dusty barns, and negotiating with sometimes surprisingly clingy hoarders, they hit the back roads of America searching for their stock. Their goal is to restore forgotten relics to their former glory, turning into treasure for a new collector. Who knows what hidden gems are tucked away in a junkyard, basement, or garage, but these pickers are about to find out, and they meet some colorful characters along the way. This article will show you how to watch this season of American Pickers even if you don’t have cable, as well as how to catch up on past seasons while you wait for the return.
