Tim Fontaine

Tim Fontaine is the Indigenous Canadian writer named in The Business of Heated Rivalry as the creator of 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 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.
