Roger Penrose theory is that the universe does not last, but does spawn a new universe as the last dying gasp of the previous one in a forward "pop".
Energy from the universe will eventually cool and disapate, including energy collected in black holes, which means all life will be long gone.
Assuming the new epoch universe is able to sustain life, then it will form organically.
This is a layman's description of Penrose theory.

The heat death of the universe eventually leads to a minimally entropic state. The stretching of spacetime is the only way to reset entropy. And you're not even really resetting it, just dumping it in other causally disconnected universes.

Yeah, isn't this the hypothesis about giving enough time, anything that is possible will happen? And even though it's astronomically unlikely to happen, a new universe bubbling up from a Quantum fluctuation and into an entirely new and separate universe could theoretically happen.
