The slow and inexorable brightening of the Sun (it's already 30% brighter than when it settled onto the Main Sequence) will eventually cause a runaway greenhouse effect. The oceans will all be converted to steam and the surface temperature will be far beyond what life could survive. After that things only get hotter until the Sun enters its end stages and leaves the Main Sequence.

A hot surface does very little to life several miles below it.

Since heat is flowing out of the Earth, the temperature below will eventually become hotter than the temperature at the surface.
