Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Chicago Fire" Season 11.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts, no guessing, no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points (in the overview, though the primer is an array of strings/bullets). Output valid JSON only.
Input: TMDB Season Synopsis and 5 Sources.
TMDB Season Synopsis: "Old ghosts and new dangers emerge as Firehouse 51 juggles internal shakeups and life-changing decisions. The job never gets easier — but neither does walking away."
Source [1]: General overview of the series (edge-of-your-seat view into lives of everyday heroes).
Source [2]: Created by Michael Brandt, Derek Haas. Stars Taylor Kinney, Christian Stolte, Joe Minoso, David Eigenberg. Follows professional and personal lives of firefighters, rescue personnel, and paramedics at Firehouse 51.
Source [3]: Describes the occupation as stressful, dangerous, rewarding, and exhilarating for firefighters, rescue squad, and paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51.
Source [4]: Stills/photos info.
Source [5]: American procedural drama on NBC. Created by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt. First installment of the Chicago franchise.
Overview Requirement: 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis is extremely short: "Old ghosts and new dangers emerge as Firehouse 51 juggles internal shakeups and life-changing decisions. The job never gets easier — but neither does walking away." (26 words).
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: I cannot reach 160-220 words without inventing details or repeating the same sentence multiple times, which would violate the "encyclopedic prose" and "verifiable facts" rule. However, the prompt demands a 160-220 word summary.
Strategy: I must use the available facts to build the most substantial text possible. I will include the series context (creators, setting, nature of the show) to pad the length while remaining factual.
