Tim Fontaine

Tim Fontaine is the Indigenous Canadian writer named in The Business of Heated Rivalry as the creator of [[TheKingIsDead|The King Is Dead]], a project in development with Crave. Brendan Brady describes the project as an action-adventure comedy set in the 1700s about Indigenous people traveling to England to try to kill King George III.

Fontaine matters in the wiki because the episode treats [[HeatedRivalry|Heated Rivalry]]’s success as leverage for more distinctive Canadian projects, not only as a one-off romance hit. That links him to Canadian Television Financing, Underserved Romance Audience, and the question of which stories can move through constrained production systems.
