With a folding of her arms and nodding of her head, Barbara Eden blinked her way into our hearts, becoming one of the most beloved icons in TV history. I Dream of Jeannie debuted in 1965, with Eden as the titular genie, falling in love with Captain Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman), the brave astronaut who freed her from her bottle. For five seasons, their hijinks and adventures entertained audiences.
60 years later, with all the remakes and reboots happening, could I Dream of Jeannie get made in 2025? In a new interview with Forbes, the 93-year-old Eden says that it’s unlikely: “I think it could be — I’m not sure that anyone would want to do it.”
