For "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's" Amanda Rollins, "True Blood" is thicker than water.

The NBC cop drama has cast former "True Blood" star Lindsay Pulsipher to play the recurring role of Kim Rollins, the younger sister of Kelli Giddish's detective, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

Kim, who was first referenced last season, will arrive in New York unexpectedly and will create all kinds of trouble for her older sister.



Pulsipher's first appearance will air on Nov. 14, and she is expected to appear at least once more this season.

Mega Buzz: Who's Returning From Rollins' Past on "SVU"?

Just as one person left Detective Rollins' life on "Law & Order: SVU", another one is coming back in. The new season will feature the return of Rollins' sister (Lindsay Pulsipher) -- but she's bringing a new face with her.

"We'll see her sister and meet her mother," executive producer Warren Leight tells TVGuide.com. "Even if their intent is to be supportive, and I'm not even sure it is, her family showing up is not a great thing for her -- nothing good comes from seeing her sister or her mother."

As to why they're coming around, could Rollins be expecting a baby just like Kelli Giddish is in real life? "By the end of the premiere you'll know part of the answer to that question," Leight teases.



Regardless, Rollins is dealing with tons of change this season after the exit of her partner - and part-time love interest - Detective Amaro (Danny Pino).

"This guy was a rock in the department and he was there emotionally for Benson and Rollins and, at times, physically for Rollins," Leight says. "So they're both missing him. We don't have people moaning about it, but you sense that it's changed the rhythm."
