Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for Life Below Zero Season 2.
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 (in the overview/primer text, though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Specific Constraint Check: The primer is an array of 4 bullet points. The prompt says "no bullet points" in the general instructions ("Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text — no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points"), but then asks for an "array of exactly 4 concise bullet points" for the primer. In JSON, an array of strings is the standard way to represent bullet points. I will provide an array of 4 strings.
TMDB Season Synopsis: Spring has arrived for four Alaskan households living miles from the nearest road network in different corners of the territory. After a harsh winter, breakup is underway in remote Alaska. The characters face a new set of challenges.

Current info on Season 2: Spring has arrived. Breakup is underway. Four Alaskan households are living miles from the nearest road network in different corners of the territory. They are facing a new set of challenges following a harsh winter.
Problem: The provided synopsis for Season 2 is very short. It only says: "Spring has sprung for our four Alaskan households living miles from the nearest road network in different corners of this merciless territory. After the harsh winter, breakup is under way in remote Alaska and Life Below Zero's hardy characters face a whole new set of challenges."
Word count check: The synopsis is about 45 words. I need to expand this to 160-22
