Aussie Pickers is an Australian reality television series which premiered on A&E on 9 May 2013.[1] It is an Australian adaption of American series American Pickers. The show follows Lucas Callaghan and Adam McDonald[2] as they travel around Australia, buying ("picking") antiques and collectibles. They look through attics, backyards and sheds in the search for forgotten relics.

Development

The series was first commissioned by Foxtel (owner of A&E) on 12 November 2012, to be a 10-part series produced by Shine Australia.[3]

On 10 December 2012, it was announced that Lucas Callaghan and Adam McDonald would host the series, as well as stating the series had been reduced from 10 episodes to 8.[2]

In February 2014, multiple regional websites and newspapers advertised that Aussie Pickers were looking for individuals to nominate whether they were interested in participating in the series, with filming of season two to begin shortly and to air on A&E later in 2014.[4][5][6] It was later announced the second season would premiere on 14 August 2014,[7] however, the series premiered two days earlier on 12 August 2014.
