The Optical Gravitational Experiment (OGLE) was effectively used in discovering binary central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe). About 50 binary CSPNe have been hitherto identified in the Galaxy, almost half of them were detected in the OGLE database. We used the OGLE data to search for binary CSPNe in the Magellanic Clouds. We also searched for PNe mimics and removed them from the PNe sample. Here, we present results of the photometric analysis for Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and our progress on search of binary central stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). So far, we have discovered one binary central star of the PN beyond the Milky Way, which is located in the Small Magellanic Cloud.
