We have absolutely no idea. I think it’s unlikely that we are the only planet with life on it in the universe, although we don’t really have a concept of what “other” kinds of life might look like. It could be simple single-celled organisms or the whole cast of Avatar. There’s a good article in National Geographic talking about the people looking for extra-terrestrial life, though: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2019/03/extraterrestrial-life-probably-exists-how-do-we-search-for-aliens/
