The History Channel has slated a new non-fiction series hosted and executive produced by Mike Wolfe, a treasure hunter from the long-running series American Pickers.

Set to premiere on February 22, History’s Greatest Picks with Mike Wolfe is an eight-episode series produced by Cineflix that follows Wolfe (pictured) as he explores the stories and values behind legendary treasures, relics and artifacts from history, ranging from vintage cars and motorcycles to pop culture relics, and historical oddities, along with expert insight.

The new series is part of the A+E Global-owned cable network’s History Honors 250 campaign, which leads up to the 250th anniversary this July of the founding of the United States. The campaign includes long-form and short-form programming, digital and social content, custom partnerships, premium events and more.

History’s Greatest Picks with Mike Wolfe is executive produced for Cineflix by J.C. Mills and Tanya Blake, with Zack Sweeney and Alex Hoff also serving as executive producers along with Wolfe. Max Micallef is the executive producer for History Channel.
