Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Brothers" Season 1.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points (inside the overview, but the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Source Material:
Title: Brothers (2026).
Genre: Comedy.
Creators: Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Lee Eisenberg, David West Read.
Cast: Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey, Ella Grace Helton, Natalie Martinez.
Premise: Best friends Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson uncover a shocking family secret that suggests their connection might be closer.
Premiere Date: September 23, 2026.
Platform: Apple TV.
Rating: TV-MA.
Overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided text is extremely sparse. It only says they are best friends and uncover a secret.
Constraint Check: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Challenge: I cannot reach 160-220 words without inventing details. If I strictly follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, I will fail the word count requirement. However, the prompt says "produce a JSON object... overview: factual 160-220 word summary".
Conflict Resolution: In professional prompting, if the source material is insufficient to meet a specific length constraint without violating the "do not invent" constraint, I must prioritize the "do not invent" and "verifiable facts" instruction. However, I will try to expand on the known facts (creators, cast, genre, premiere date, premise) as much as possible to approach the length, but I cannot hallucinate plot points.
Wait: Let me re-read. "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."

Created by Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Lee Eisenberg, and David West Read, the series is available for streaming on Apple TV.
