Season overview

Task: Write a JSON object for "Big Mouth" Season 5.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points in the text (though the primer is an array of strings). Output valid JSON only.
Source Material:
TMDB Synopsis: "Romantic confessions, angry tirades and vicious rumors fly as lovebugs and hate worms wriggle their way into the hearts of the Bridgeton Middle crew."
Source [1]: Big Mouth (2017), TV-MA, Comedy and Animation. "Teenage friends find their lives upended by the wonders and horrors of puberty..."
Source [2]: American adult animated coming-of-age musical sitcom created by Andrew Goldberg, Nick Kroll, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett for Netflix. Aired for eight seasons between 2017 and 2025.
Source [4]: Edgy comedy from Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg.
Source [5]: "Teenage friends find their lives upended by the wonders and horrors of puberty."
Overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis for Season 5 is extremely short: "Romantic confessions, angry tirades and vicious rumors fly as lovebugs and hate worms wriggle their way into the hearts of the Bridgeton Middle crew."
Constraint Check: I cannot invent details. If I only use the provided text, I cannot reach 160-220 words without being repetitive or inventing things.
Wait, let me re-read the instructions. "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I omit everything not in the text, the overview will be one sentence. But the prompt requires 160-220 words.
This is a conflict. Usually, in these prompt engineering tasks, if the source is insufficient to meet the length requirement, I must stick to the facts provided. However, if I write only one sentence, I fail the word count constraint.
Let's look at the sources again.
Series premise: Teenage friends find their lives upended by the wonders and horrors of puberty.
Season 5 specific: Romantic confessions, angry tirades, vicious rumors, lovebugs, hate worms, Bridgeton Middle crew.
There is no way to reach 1
