Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Crikey! It's the Irwins" Season 3.
Keys required: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown/asterisks/headings/bullet points in the text (though primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Input Data:
Synopsis: After a year of persevering through bushfire rescue efforts and a surreal global pandemic lockdown, the Irwins reopen the Australian Zoo and get back to the exciting business of caring for their beloved animals.
Source 1: Follow Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin as they run the extraordinary Australia Zoo in the bushlands of northern Australia.
Source 2: Premiered Oct 28, 2018. Network: Animal Planet. Category: Series. Genre: Reality. Cast: Terri Irwin, Bindi, Robert Irwin. Mentions Grace receives a surprise honor during the season.
Overview requirements: 160-220 words. Factual summary of Season 3's narrative arc.
Source content for Season 3: The Irwins reopen the Australian Zoo and get back to caring for animals after a year of bushfire rescue efforts and a global pandemic lockdown.
Problem: The provided synopsis is very short (approx 35 words). I need to reach 160-220 words using only provided facts.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: The synopsis is too short to reach the 160-220 word requirement without inventing information.
Strategy: I must expand on the existing facts using neutral, encyclopedic prose, but I cannot invent new plot points. If I cannot reach 160 words without inventing facts, I am in a bind. However, I can describe the context provided.
Wait: The prompt says "factual 160-220 word summary". If the source material is insufficient to meet the word count without violating the "do not invent" rule, I must prioritize the "do not invent" rule. However, usually, in these prompts, the user expects the word count to be met. Let's see if I can stretch the existing facts.
Facts available:
