Frank Fritz’s exit from ‘American Pickers’ more or less caused a falling out between him and fellow star Mike Wolfe. However, it seems that there’s hope this rift will be healed and fans will get to see Frank Fritz make a return to the show.

Mike Wolfe Extends Olive Branch To Frank Fritz After A Few Years of Tension
Wolfe is reportedly making efforts to heal the rift between him and Fritz after the two had a falling out. Fritz left the show in 2020, revealing in 2021 that he and Wolfe hadn’t spoken in two years.
While his exit wasn’t well received by the rest of the ‘American Pickers’ cast, it seems he and Wolfe are finally heading towards a reconciliation after he suffered a stroke in 2022.
An insider speaking to InTouch said, “Mike is sorry for the way he treated Frank. He didn’t deserve the cold shoulder.”

Fritz had exited the show in 2020 in order to undergo back surgery. Sadly, he has since continued to deal with Crohn’s disease. At the height of their fallout, he revealed that his longtime co-star Wolfe was aware of his health challenges, “but he didn’t call me and ask how I was doing. That’s just how it is.”
However, when Fritz suffered a stroke, Wolfe took to Instagram to wish his co-star full recovery. These days, per the source, Wolfe is “trying to make up for it now by being a better friend.”
“They’ve had a few teary conversations, and Mike’s trying harder to be there for his friend. It’s slow going, but Frank’s doing well, and he’s in good spirits.”
It’s great to see the two friends bonding again, but does this mean a Fritz return to ‘American Pickers’ is on the horizon?
Even though the show has seemingly moved on from Fritz, the source revealed that Wolfe has “suggested Frank come on the show for a visit, and that’s been a strong motivation point for Frank. Mike and the crew are all for it when Frank feels he’s ready. The fans would love it. The show hasn’t been the same without Frank.”

With their relationship in a better place, it’s certainly possible that a Fritz comeback is on the horizon. What do you think?

Maybe, if he is feeling up to it…they can have him in a semi-regular roll on the show appraising items with Danielle in the shop. That might be a good part time fit, mend fences and such. I don’t see any way he will ever realistically be back on the road, so have him work at the shop part time and he can probably cross sell some of the stuff from his own shop in the same process!
It is about time Frank deserves a chanch back on the show. Mike is being real about him not being the best friend if he ghost’s Frank again it’s all on him!
Uhhhh, Frank died…
