* ''{{Series/Blackadder}}'':

* ''{{Series/Oz}}'': One of the plots in Season 6 is about [[PrisonerPerformance the inmates at Oswald State Correctional Facility attempting to stage a production]] of ''Macbeth''. In the final episode, "[[Recap/OzS6E8ExeuntOmnes Exunt Omnes]]", the play is staged, and [[spoiler:Beecher uses a NotSoFakePropWeapon to stab Vern Schillinger to death during the final act]].
* ''{{Series/Probe}}'''s "[[Recap/ProbeBlackCatsDontWalkUnderLaddersDoThey Black Cats Don't Walk Under Ladders (Do They?)]]": Marty Corrigan misquotes one of the lines when Sabrina Stillwater enters his dressing room; "By the pricking of my thumbs, something ''rancid'' this way comes".

* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'' episode "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1963S1E20TheBelleroShield The Bellero Shield]]" has many parallels and contrasts with ''Macbeth''. The villain is [[LadyMacbeth an already rich and powerful woman]] who is still [[AmbitionIsEvil consumed with ambition]] and tries (but fails) to corrupt her husband. In the end, the horrors she brings upon herself with her ruthless crimes wind up driving her insane with guilt.

* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', Macbeth is a recurring character. His backstory is actually closer to the historical Macbeth than the Shakespearean version, and he's probably the most {{Anti Villain}}ous of the major antagonists. (His wife fits Lady Macbeth even less.) There's a bit of a play on the "no man of woman born" prophecy--due to magic, he and [[KillAllHumans Demona]] (a female gargoyle, meaning she hatched from an egg) are both immortal until they MutualKill each other.
