Law & Order: SVU has entered a new era in the fall 2025 TV schedule, with the arrival of the show's first female showrunner as well as the Season 27 return of fan-favorite Kelli Giddish as Amanda Rollins. In the new episode on October 23, the Special Victims Unit will catch a case that's much more complicated than it initially seems, even by SVU standards. Former Poker Face cast member Danielle Macdonald will appear in the installment, and she spoke with CinemaBlend about her status as a longtime fan as well as what appealed to her about her character.
The new episode on October 23 is called "Feed the Craving," which Macdonald teased means "not being able to help yourself" in "relation to this story." The case will pick up when a woman in active labor is kidnapped, with the newly-returned Rollins joining forces with Curry to chase down clues via the woman's doula. It will eventually be on Carisi to try and get a confession to close the case, with Benson in the mix as always despite Chief Tynan's efforts to promote her to a desk job.
