The TV personality praised the show's production crew while confirming they were back on the road filming new episodes in a heartfelt Instagram post last month. Mike posed with Jon, 61, and crew members in a sweet, behind-the-scenes photograph on his feed on July 24.
He told fans that "some of the people in this shot" have been working with him for 16 years, adding, "We have watched each other grow and evolve in so many beautiful ways." "All this reflection comes from me signing another contract today to do another season [of American Pickers]," he continued, officially confirming the series was set to return for its 26th season. Mike, his brother Robbie , Jon, and their fellow co-star Danielle Colby hit the road to film new episodes of the long-running series after Season 25 wrapped earlier this year.

Jersey Jon is an antique expert with a fondness for vintage motorcycles, who first appeared on the hit series during season seven, which was aired in 2012. Following his debut, Jon routinely joined Mike, Robbie, Danielle, and former American Pickers' star Frank Fritz on their adventures before being confirmed as a series regular last December. Jon previously revealed that he knew Mike long before he fronted American Pickers in an interview with the Antique Motorcycle Foundation, adding, "He's a great friend.
" "When he is working on the East Coast, he sleeps on my couch. And when I go out west for the Davenport meet, he and I would go picking up and down the Mississippi River," the New Jersey native said. MENTOR MIKE Last month, Mike showed his followers what the Pickers gang does when the cameras aren't rolling .
He posted a snap to Instagram of the cast sitting at a folding table outside their camper. Mike sat at one end of the table holding a toy Army Jeep, while Robbie and Jersey Jon looked quizzically at the tiny car. The reality star joked about the humorous scene in his caption.
"Blessed to be a mentor to these two crazy guys...
Here I am explaining to them the particular shade of green this Tin Army Jeep toy is...
They obviously thought just green but in fact the correct term is OLIVE Drab Green...
