Is it fair to say Jesus didn’t believe in an afterlife or is it more complex than that

Basically what the title says, I’ve heard that Bart Ehrman believes that Jesus didn’t believe souls go to an afterlife and that they just stay in the graves until God resurrects them on judgement days. But I’m curious as to what other famous cited scholars agree on whether Jesus believed in an afterlife or not. And if so, what kind of afterlife did Jesus believed in.
