4	* ''Anime/LucyMayOfTheSouthernRainbiw'': The Princeton's cat is named Prospero.

Part of the revenge plot is to have Lady Prospera's daughter marry the daughter of the man who ruined their lives.

9	* ''ComicBook/XMen'': one of the Morlocks, Caliban, was romantically obsessed with ComicBook/KittyPryde, who at one point had taken on the code-name Ariel. Unlike his counterpart in the play, Caliban could be gentle and kindly.
10	* ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'': Dream of the Endless commissions this play be written in exchange for Shakespeare's skill as a playwright. He later implies that it is an allegory for [[spoiler: his planned suicide.]]

14	* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'', when Bonk gets angry at the Joker and calls him a fake, the Joker replies, "Ah, brave new world...that has such [putzes/yutzes] in it." This is a parody of a line spoken by Miranda: "O, wonder!/How many goodly creatures are there here!/How beauteous mankind is! ''O brave new world''/''That has such people in't''" (V, i).

17	[[folder:Film -- Live Action]]
18	* ''Film/DaughtersOfTheDust'': As the boat Viola's in approaches the island, where she grew up but moved away from years ago, Viola says "What's past is prologue."
19	* ''Film/ForbiddenPlanet'' takes the basic exile structure.
20	* In ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy2005'', Zaphod wants to trip the light fantastic with Questular.
21	* In ''Film/ItsAlwaysFairWeather'', Jackie Leighton, to put Ted Riley off (as well as to comment on how Riley's reunion with two old army friends didn't go well), tells him, "Most friendship is fading, most loving mere folly." She claims it's from ''The Tempest'', but Riley points out it's actually from ''Theatre/AsYouLikeIt'', which impresses her.
22	* In ''Film/LadyBird'', the school puts on a production of ''The Tempest''.
23	* Prospero's "We are such stuff as dreams are made on" was paraphrased by Creator/HumphreyBogart's character for his iconic final line in ''Film/{{The Maltese Falcon\|1941}}'': "The stuff that dreams are made of".
24	* ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry:'' Among the many, ''many'' Shakespeare quotes Chang rattles off, he gets out a "our revels now have ended". Chancellor Gorkon drops a "brave new world" in an earlier conversation, and given he's also an aficionado of the bard (the Trope Namer for InTheOriginalKlingon), it's probably a deliberate reference from him.
25	* In the movie ''Film/TimeAfterTime'', [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy time-travelling H. G. Wells]] says "O brave new world that hath such people in it" as he observed 1980s Los Angeles.
26	[[/folder]]
27
28	[[folder:Literature]]
29	* Creator/IsaacAsimov's ''Literature/WordsOfScienceAndTheHistoryBehindThem'': The entry for "Umbra" explains the use of Umbrial as a name for a sad and gloomy spirit [[{{Foil}} contrasting with]] Creator/WilliamShakespeare's Ariel from ''Theatre/TheTempest''. Umbrial first appeared in Creator/AlexanderPope's "Literature/TheRapeOfTheLock", and both Umbriel and Ariel are names given to {{UsefulNotes/Uranus}}'s moons.
30	* Miranda's speech appears in ''Literature/BraveNewWorld'' as the a TitleDrop. The Savage really knows his Shakespeare.
31	** Arguably, "Brave New World" is almost the opposite of "To thine own self be true" nowadays. Whereas "to thine own self be true" was meant as ironic (in context), it is now used seriously. Whereas "brave new world" is meant to be said seriously, but chances are, if something's described as a "brave new world" in fiction, something is—or will soon be—GoneHorriblyWrong (most likely because Huxley's dystopian novel has become [[SmallReferencePools more well-known]] than the play it got its title from.
32	* ''Literature/TheCollector'': The main female character is called Miranda, and she gets kidnapped by Frederick who sees himself and introduces himself as Ferdinand, because he would like to invoke a romance between them, based on the couple. Miranda thinks of him as monster and calls him Caliban.
33	* ''{{Literature/Discworld}}'': Octarine, which can only be seen by magic-capable creatures (such as wizards and cats), is described as [[Literature/TheColourOfMagic the colour of magic]] and [[Literature/TheLightFantastic the light fantastic]] -- the latter being a quote from ''The Tempest''.
34	* In the ''Series/DoctorWho''/''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' crossover ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresAllConsumingFire All-Consuming Fire]]'', Watson uses the "brave new world" line straight, to describe a future "that has such people" as Literature/BerniceSummerfield.
35	* In ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'', a long-dead witch went by the name of Sycorax.
36	* The seventh Longmire mystery, ''Hell Is Empty,'' is titled after a well-known line from ''The Tempest'' (a line which Sheriff Walt, naturally, [[TitleDrop has to quote]] in dialogue). An episode of [[Series/{{Longmire}} the TV adaptation]] was based on this book, although they changed the title to "Unquiet Mind."
37	* ''Literature/MobyDick'': The sailors are discussing whether they will drown sooner or later, or live long enough to get hanged.
38	* ''Literature/RainOfTheGhosts,'' by self-described "Shakespeare nut" Creator/GregWeisman, is set in the fictional Prospero Keys, with important characters named Miranda[[note]]Both [[MeaningfulName meaningfully]] and [[IronicName ironically]]: she's an outsider because she's only recent come back to the island after years away[[/note]], Ariel[[note]]Fittingly, who works for Miranda's father[[/note]], Alonso, Iris, Sebastian, and even a villain named "Silas Setebos." There's a company on the islands named Sycorax, and recurring antagonist "Callahan" is probably a reference to Caliban. The second book also mentions that the characters are going to see ''The Tempest'' on a field trip; one wonders how they'll react to all the parallels.
39	* In the novel ''Literature/ReadyPlayerOne'', a clue to the Crystal Key is "I must uneasy make, lest too light winning make the prize light". Parzival recognises this as "a quote from Shakespeare" and reckons that it simply implies that getting the Crystal Key won't be easy, but [=Art3mis=] corrects him, pointing out that it is a quote from ''The Tempest'' and is a clue that to earn the Crystal Key, players have to play ''{{VideoGame/Tempest}}''.
40	* The ''Literature/{{Relativity}}'' villain, Phanthro, is a big fan of Shakespeare. In his introductory story, "Pressure Cooker", all of the clues he gives the heroes are in the form of "Tempest" quotes. [[Film/ForbiddenPlanet His outfit even indirectly references the play.]]
41	* In ''Literature/EyeOfAFly'', Ernest's favorite Shakespeare play is ''The Tempest''. He relates to Prospero, who loves to study and defeats his enemies with magical powers. Annie tells him that she memorized a bunch of audiobooks, including ''The Tempest'', and that she thought "O brave new world that has such people in it!" when she saw Ernest.
42	* ''Literature/MyDarkVanessa'': In college, Vanessa's class is told to pair off for an activity after reading ''The Tempest''. Vanessa's partner admits that she hasn't done the reading. Vanessa's read ''The Tempest'' twice, but pretends she's only skimmed it.
43	* ''Literature/TheSchizogenicMan'': In one of the alternate timelines, Heron watches a play on TV, where an actor sings a version of "Ariel's Song" with many of the words changed.

46	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
47	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The episode "[[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion The Christmas Invasion]]" features an alien race called the Sycorax who use MagicFromTechnology. Two seasons later, in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E2TheShakespeareCode The Shakespeare Code]]," the Doctor meets Shakespeare himself and mentions the incident with the Sycorax, implying that Shakespeare used the name because of this.
48	* The ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' universe has planets named Ariel and Miranda. Moreover, Miranda's most famous line in ''The Tempest'' is "O brave new world, that hath such people in it!", and the planet Miranda was at one time a ''Literature/BraveNewWorld''-like dystopia.
49	* Twice on ''Series/{{Qi}}'':
50	** In the Shakespeare-themed "I" season episode, "Immortal Bard", before giving the scores, Creator/StephenFry announced, "Our revels now are ended. These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air."
51	** At the beginning of the "K" series Christmas episode, "Kris Kringle", Fry announced, "Hell is empty, all the devils are here!"
52	* Prospero appears as the major antagonist in ''Series/TheLibrarians2014'', where-in he is a Fictional, a fictional character who was so iconic and well-written that he literally came to life.
53	* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'': In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1963S1E3TheArchitectsOfFear The Architects of Fear]]", scientist Allen Leighton undergoes SanitySlippage while his colleagues transform him into a fake alien, leading to this line:
54	-->'''Allen:''' I am Callahan... uh, Cal... Caliban... with a Ph.D!

56
57	[[folder:Music]]
58	* Music/TheDecemberists' {{epic\|Rocking}} song "The Island" is a retelling of ''Theatre/TheTempest'' InTheStyleOf Music/EmersonLakeAndPalmer (well, ProgressiveRock more generally, too).
59	[[/folder]]
60
61	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
62	* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'': The Primarch Magnus was found on the planet Prospero, known these days as the Planet of the Sorcerers, while Lion'el Jonson was found on Caliban.

65	[[folder:Theatre]]

72	* The final zone of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV: Shadowbringers'' is [[spoiler:a seabed area]] named The Tempest. The areas within include Caliban Gorge and the Trinculo Shelf, and its background music is titled "Full Fathom Five".
73	* ''Heavily'' referenced throughout ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm'', starting from the episode names ("Awake", "Brave New World", and "Hell is Empty") all being quotes from the play. It comes up most directly with Blackwell's production of the play in "Brave New World", starring Rachel as [[GenderFlip Prospera]] and [[spoiler:Chloe as Ariel (after Juliet cannot make it in time due to the fire)]].
74	* The map "Havana" in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' has posters for a film/play called "La Tempestad".

80	[[/folder]]
81
82	[[folder:Western Animation]]
83	* ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries'': A plot point in "Big Problem". A monster who was attacking various locations in the city growled out such cryptic comments as "All the Devils are here", "This thing of darkness I acknowledge as mine" and "What's past is prologue." Honey Lemon realized these were quotes from ''The Tempest'', which helped the team uncover the monster's identity and the reasons for his attacks.
84	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E21ThreeMenAndAComicBook Three Men and a Comic Book]]", Martin Prince also paraphrases Prospero's line when he touches the pages of the comic book "Radioactive Man # 1":

90
91	[[folder:Real Life]]
92	* The moons of Uranus include Miranda, Caliban, Sycorax, Prospero, Setebos, Stephano, Trinculo, Francisco, and Ferdinand. And Ariel, but technically that one's named after the character from Alexander Pope's ''Literature/TheRapeOfTheLock'', not the character from ''The Tempest''.
