The 'Severance' Season 2 trailer introduces several new characters, including Sarah Bock as a young deputy manager and new workers played by Alia Shawkat, Stefano Carannante, and Bob Balaban.

Now Mr Drummond does not make an appearance in the trailer, but his voiceover is more than enough to pique fans' interest, with many claiming the mysterious character could be linked to the origins of the medical procedure. It is highly plausible that Mr Drummond is the executive of Lumouns, who has been with the firm from the beginning and knows all the ins and outs of the procedure. It's probable that Mr Drummond will be a key to the bizarre mystery behind severance.

As soon as 'Severance' Season 2 made its debut, sleuth fans were quick to notice Mr Dummond's presence and flocked to a Reddit thread to speculate about the character. 

A fan said, "His name wasn't mentioned in the first season, but Drummond means ridge, and Riggs means one from the ridge. So a Helena connection is possible, if that was intentional." Another added, "First glance I thought he was the goat tender but I’m assuming he’s a board member."

Another speculated, "Maybe the chairman or viceperson of the Board at Lumon." Meanwhile, one stated, "I was thinking he was like a host of a documentary about severance abuse, maybe propaganda produced by Lumon or like a 60 Minutes type thing."
