After American Pickers star Danielle Colby made a statement claiming the show would be wrapping up soon, a network insider has exclusively told The Irish Star US that their announcement was completely false.<\/p>\n
A+E’s Dan Silberman revealed, “There is no truth to that. We are not currently producing episodes because we have a full season in the can and Mike [Wolfe’s] upcoming spin-off.” Silberman contradicted Colby’s claim<\/a> with his own statement, and even revealed that American Pickers creator Mike Wolfe will be launching his own spin-off<\/a> for devoted viewers of the popular show. The project comes right after he shuttered his Nashville storefront.<\/p>\n The network executive’s remarks came one day after Colby, 50, posted to Instagram<\/a> on December 3. They informed fans in a now-deleted video, “I just found out that American Pickers is done. I am at this epic crossroads where I’ve laid out what I want to do, so I already have that plan in motion.”<\/p>\n READ MORE: American Pickers canceled after 27 years host’s ‘financial support’ concerns<\/a>READ MORE: Mike Wolfe makes American Pickers store announcement after show cancellation<\/a><\/p>\n Colby went on. “But now is the time where I like have to 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.”<\/p>\n “You can come with me on this process as a former reality TV star just trying to find her f—— way in the world. Because what do I do now?” they said. “I’ve got the plan. We’re moving forward.”<\/p>\n At the time, viewers were heartbroken. In the comment section, numerous fans expressed feelings such as, “End of an era,” and, “I will miss it.<\/p>\n “I’m bummed but that is one helluva run,” another fan remarked before it was confirmed the news was false.<\/p>\n However, one fan suspected something was amiss and commented, “Nice try…. new season just started last week. Had another new episode just yesterday.”<\/p>\n Since the video was shared, Colby has once again deactivated their Instagram account.<\/p>\n Colby has been a part of the show since its inception in 2010, and has stayed faithful to the franchise for the past 15 years. They took a brief break in 2022 due to health problems.<\/p>\n In the meantime, Wolfe’s brand new History Channel spin-off, History’s Greatest Picks With Mike Wolfe, was announced in late 2025 and is slated to debut in 2026.<\/p>\n The program will concentrate on preserving and investigating historical artifacts and antiques.<\/p>\n Wolfe will also venture into film acting and has shut down his Antique Archaeology Nashville store to make way for other endeavors.<\/p>\n American Pickers first aired in 2010, featuring Wolfe, Colby, and the late Frank Fritz, who sadly passed away in September 2024 at the age of 60.<\/p>\n Fritz’ official death certificate verified that the reality star died from a “late sequela of cerebral infarction,” essentially indicating he had a stroke.<\/p>\n It was also confirmed that his stroke was caused by cerebral vascular disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Despite American Pickers star Danielle Colby’s claims that the show was ending, a network insider has exclusively…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-175328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Danielle](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0_danielle-colby-1420x798.jpg\")
