Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "South Park" Season 23.
Keys: overview (160-220 words) and primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invented facts. No markdown/asterisks/headings/bullets in the text (though primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Input: TMDB Season Synopsis and several sources.
Synopsis: "Join Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Randy as they explore the wonders of the human biome, tackle the consequences of immigration, and get banned in China. For them, it’s all part of growing up in South Park!"
Source [1]: General overview: "Four boys. One f**ked-up town." "Follow the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctiona"
Source [2]: Season 1 info: "Join Stan, Kyle Cartman and Kenny as these four animated tykes take on the supernatural, the extraordinary and the insane."
Source [3]: Creators: Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Voices: Parker and Stone (males), April Stewart and Mona Marshall (females).
Source [4]: Matt Stone info.
Source [5]: Irrelevant.
Overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Content: Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Randy explore the human biome, deal with immigration consequences, and face being banned in China.
Problem: The synopsis is very short. It is impossible to write a 160-220 word summary using only the provided text without inventing details or repeating the same sentence multiple times.
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."
If I write 160 words, I will be inventing content. If I write only what is there, I will be under the word count.
Let's look at the synopsis again: "Join Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Randy as they explore the wonders of the human biome, tackle the consequences of immigration, and get banned in China. For them, it’s all part of growing up in South Park!"
Total words in synopsis: ~35 words.
Total words in Source [1] overview: ~15
