Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Goal: Produce a JSON object for "South Park" Season 8.
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 text (though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Input Data: TMDB Season Synopsis, TMDB Overview, Cast/Crew info, Matt Stone info, Plex info, Namu Wiki info.
TMDB Season Synopsis: "Join Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny as they witness the girls’ celebrity-worship of ditzy, rich, sex-tape-making socialites and take part in an awesome anime battle with Professor Chaos. For them, it’s all part of growing up in South Park!"
TMDB Overview: "Follow the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctiona" (cut off).
Source [2]: "Follow the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctional town of South Park, Colorado."
Source [3]: Matt Stone, Trey Parker, series creation.
Source [4]: Cast and crew info.
Source [5]: Homonym info.
Overview:
Must be 160-220 words.
Content: Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny witness the girls' celebrity-worship of ditzy, rich, sex-tape-making socialites. They also participate in an anime battle with Professor Chaos. This is part of their experience growing up in South Park.
Problem: The provided synopsis is very short. I cannot reach 160-220 words without inventing facts.
Self-Correction: The prompt says "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." If the synopsis is only ~40 words, and I cannot invent facts, I cannot meet the 160-220 word requirement without violating the "no inventing" rule.
Wait: Let me re-read. "Write ONLY verifiable facts... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I strictly follow "omit rather than guess", the overview will be very short. However, the prompt demands 160-220 words. This is a conflict.
