I think The Good Place had an excellent take on this.
In the afterlife, people's every desires were met, they could have orgasms lasting millennia, and they eventually just turned into mindless zombies because they'd essentially done and seen everything - multiple times.
To resolve this, they were given an option to walk through a "door" and cease existing any time they wanted. The idea of an "end" reignited the passions that had been lost and gave them something to look forward to.
That show had no business being as great as it was.
Yeah, I'd heard good things about it before I finally got around to watching it. I went into it expecting "good", but got "great" instead. No complaints lol.
