This is about as close as we can get for carbon-based life habitable planet. 2.6 times the radius of Earth and mostly ocean, what sort of marine lives swim in there? Give me chills if they exist.

Life on K2-18 b is still pretty unlikely. Or at least what we would call life… There have been signs of Dimethyl sulfide, which would be one of those bio markers.
I would say it’s neither likely or unlikely. It’d simply unconfirmed. We don’t have a solid baseline for establishing how widespread life is.
What we do know is that carbon and long-chain carbon molecules like methane are indicators. Nothing more.
