Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Supernatural" Season 11.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts, names, dates, etc. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points (within the text, though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Source Material:
TMDB Synopsis: "Following the release of the Darkness, this season follows the Winchesters and their allies as they find themselves fighting the most powerful supernatural entity they've ever faced."
Source [1]: General info (Supernatural 2005, TV-14, Drama/Mystery/Sci-Fi/Fantasy).
Source [3]: Created by Eric Kripke, premiered on The WB in Sept 2005, follows two brothers hunting demons, ghosts, etc.
Source [4]: Sam and Dean Winchester, journey to find/destroy the demon that killed their mother, travel in a vintage Chevy Impala, encounter creatures from folklore/superstition.
Source [5]: Brothers follow father's footsteps as hunters, fighting monsters, demons, and gods.
Overview Construction:
Goal: 160-220 words.
Content: Season 11 follows the Winchesters and their allies. They are fighting the Darkness, which has been released. This entity is the most powerful supernatural entity they have ever faced.
Problem: The provided synopsis for Season 11 is extremely short (one sentence). The other sources provide general series information but nothing specific to the Season 11 narrative arc beyond the release of the Darkness.
Constraint Check: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If I write 160-220 words based only on the provided text, I will fail the word count requirement because there isn't enough information.
Wait, let me re-read the prompt. "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If the provided material for Season 11 is only one sentence, I cannot reach 160-220 words without inventing details or using general series info.
However, the prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary of this season's narrative arc.
Let's look at the
