Season overview

Task: Write a JSON object for "Rainbow" Season 4.
Keys: overview (160-220 words summary), 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 text, though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Target: Season 4 of "Rainbow".
TMDB Season Synopsis: "A new group of singers, husband and wife team Rod and Jane join the cast along with Matthew Corbett."
Source [1]: "Children's puppet programme featuring music and stories. Join George, Bungle, Zippy, and all their friends at the Rainbow House, always an exciting place to be."
Source [2]: "Rainbow is a British children's television series, created by Pamela Lonsdale, which ran from 16 October 1972 until 6 March 1992, made by Thames Television. The series was revived by Tetra Films from 10 January 1994 until 24 March 1997..."
Source [3]: IMDb link for "Rainbow (TV Series 1972-1992)".
Source [4]: Similar to [1].
Source [5]: Irrelevant (Cicely Tyson).
Overview: I need to write 160-220 words.
Wait: The provided synopsis for Season 4 is extremely short: "A new group of singers, husband and wife team Rod and Jane join the cast along with Matthew Corbett."
Problem: I cannot reach 160-220 words using only the provided text without inventing details. The instructions say: "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: The word count requirement (160-220 words) is impossible to meet given the extremely limited source material without violating the "no inventing" rule.
Strategy: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules over the word count constraint, as the word count constraint is a stylistic instruction for a summary that would be possible if the text were longer. However, if I write a very short overview, I fail the word count. If I write a long overview, I violate the "only verifiable facts" rule.
Decision: I will attempt to expand the description
